Dual Nature of Light — Quiz

Question 3 • Physics

Which observation supports the idea that light is made of particles?

Answer
A
Light is produced by the interaction of magnetic and electric fields.
B
Light moves in a straight path.
C
Light spreads out after passing through an opening.
D
Light diffracts when it hits a barrier.

Explanation

Light moving in a straight path is consistent with particles traveling along straight-line paths. Spreading out after an opening and diffracting at a barrier are wave behaviors, while the interaction of electric and magnetic fields describes light as an electromagnetic wave. Therefore, the supporting observation is that light moves in a straight path.
