Photoelectric effect can be explained if light is considered to travel as _:
Correct answer: B. Particle
- A. Wave
- B. Particle
- C. Both wave and particle
- D. None of these
Explanation
The correct answer is 'Particle.' The photoelectric effect demonstrates the particle nature of light, which is why considering light to travel as particles helps explain this phenomenon. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the experimental evidence provided by the photoelectric effect.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
