(a)
Interpretation:
The given property of light is to be labeled as a wave property, a particle property, both, or neither.
Concept introduction:
Light has a dual nature, that is, it has both characteristics of particle nature and wave nature. The classical science cannot explain the particle nature of light. Thomas Young’s diffraction experiment gives the proof that light has wave like nature and

- Assume that an electron can absorb more than one photon in the photoelectric effect. a How many photons of wavelength 776.5nm does an electron in Fe need to absorb to escape the iron surface ((Fe)=4.67eV)? b What is the resulting velocity of the emitted electron?arrow_forwardLithium has a work function of 2.90eV. Light having a wavelength of 1850A is shined on Li. Determine the kinetic energy of the electron ejected.arrow_forwardLabel each of the properties of an electron as a particle property, a wave property, both, or neither. a mass, b de Broglie wavelength, c diffraction, d velocity, e momentum.arrow_forward
