Question

Which of the following does not relate to photon both as wave motion and as stream of particles?

• A. E = hv
• B. E = mc${}^2$
• C. interference
• D. diffraction

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B E = mc${}^2$
C interference
D diffraction

According to planck's quantum theory the energy emitted or absorbed by a body is not continuous but it is discontinuous in the form of a small discrete particles called quanta or photon. It is directly proportional to frequency of light. E = hv.
E = mc${}^2$
It is an equation by Albert Einstein showing that energy and mass are interchangeable. It's not related to wave and particle nature of photon. Light is a transverse electromagnetic wave. Diffraction and interference are phenomena observed with all waves. So, it's not related to wave and particle nature of photon. So, only E = hv related to wave and particle nature of photon.
