Question 22 • 26-27 LISD TX-Physics B-CR (rev. 5/25)

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 spreads out after passing through an opening.
C
Light diffracts when it hits a barrier.
D
Light moves in a straight path.

Explanation

Particles traveling without being deflected move along straight paths, so the observation that light moves in a straight path supports a particle model. Spreading through an opening and diffracting around a barrier are wave behaviors, while the interaction of electric and magnetic fields describes light as an electromagnetic wave.
