NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations correctly describe the dual nature of light and the photoelectric effect?
Light exhibits both wave and particle properties; the photoelectric effect demonstrates light's particle nature.
Light behaves only as a wave; the photoelectric effect is solely due to thermal emission.
Electromagnetic radiation can only be described as particles; the photoelectric effect does not involve frequency.
The photoelectric effect is independent of the wavelength of incident light; light has no dual nature.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct as it acknowledges the wave-particle duality of light and that the photoelectric effect illustrates its particle-like behavior. Other options incorrectly assert that light behaves only as a wave or that the photoelectric effect is unrelated to frequency.
