Which phenomenon cannot be explained by considering the wave nature of light?
A
Diffraction of light
B
Photoelectric effect
C
Reflection of light
D
All of these
Correct Option:
B
Explanation
Diffraction is a signature wave phenomenon, and reflection is also fully compatible with wave optics. But the photoelectric effect requires quantized packets of light, photons. It was one of the great clues to light's particle nature.
