Light can behave both as a wave and as a:

Answer: particle.

  • A particle
  • B a liquid
  • C a gas
  • D a solid

Correct answer: A. particle

Explanation: Light shows a dual wave–particle nature.

evacuated tubelightmetal platee⁻e⁻e⁻collectorAbattery (variable)

In the photoelectric setup, light striking the metal plate ejects electrons that cross the evacuated tube to the collector, producing a measurable current on the ammeter.

Concept context

Photoelectric effect, de Broglie waves, Bohr's model, atomic spectra.
