Question 10 • Physics

Which phenomena support only the wave theory of light? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
interference
B
diffraction
C
photoelectric effect
D
refraction
E
reflection

Explanation

Interference and diffraction are explained by light behaving as a wave. Interference occurs when light waves combine, while diffraction is the spreading of waves around an obstacle or through an opening. The photoelectric effect supports the particle model of light; refraction and reflection can be described using both wave and ray models.
