Solution

The correct option is D

Photoelectric effect


(1) The photoelectric effect asserts that light travels in the form of photons, which are energy bundles or packets.

(2) The quantum nature of light is used to explain the photoelectric effect. As a result, it elucidates the nature of light as a particle.

(3) In the phenomena of the photoelectric effect there is no time lag between the incident radiation and the emission of an electron.

(4) There is an independence of photo-electrons kinetic energy from input radiation intensity.

(5) In photoelectric emission there always presents a cut-off frequency.

So, we can say that particle's nature of light can be best understood in terms of the photoelectric effect.

Hence option D is the correct answer.
