Solution
The correct option is C
Photoelectric effect
An average person can see light, which is an electromagnetic transverse wave.
Experiments on diffraction and interference were the first to show that light is a wave.
Light can pass through a vacuum, just like all electromagnetic waves can.
Interference, Diffraction, and Polarisation these three behavior shown by light waveform although the photoelectric effect is shown by the partial nature of light.
Therefore, Only the particle nature of light may be used to explain the photoelectric effect. Hence option C is correct.
