Answer»

The correct choice is (b) False

Easiest EXPLANATION: No, this is a false statement. The photoelectric EFFECT cannot be explained by wave theory because, in the photoelectric effect, the electron EMISSIONS are immediate without a time delay, WHEREAS in wave theory, the electrons are emitted only after a SMALL instant of time.
