Which theory of light explains the photoelectric effect?(a) Electromagnetic theory(b) Magnetic theory(c) Electric theory(d) Wave theoryThe question was posed to me during a job interview.The above asked question is from Photoelectric Theory and Wave Theory of Light topic in division Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) Electromagnetic theory

The explanation is: According to the electromagnetic theory, the photoelectric effect can be attributed to the TRANSFER of energy from the light to an ELECTRON. From this point of VIEW, an alteration in the intensity of light will induce changes in the kinetic energy of the ELECTRONS emitted from the metal.
