Answer to Problem 1P

option (c)

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The electromagnetic radiations show the wave as well as particle nature of the light. These radiations can travel in the free space.

The wave nature of electromagnetic radiation is explained by the experiments of Young double-slit and the diffraction of light through small aperture. The cathode-ray experiment of J. J. Thomson demonstrates that the cathode rays consist of electrically charged particles and theyare deflected by magnetic and electric fields. Thus, only photoelectric effect shows the quantize character of electromagnetic radiations.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the correct option is (c).
