According to Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, following phenomenon can be explained
I. propagation of light in vacuum
II. Interference of light
III. Polarisation of light
IV. Photoelectric effect

A

I, II and III

B

I, II and IV

C

I, III and IV

D

II, III and IV

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Except photoelectric effect, all others phenomenon such as propagation of light in vacuum, interference and polarisation of light can be explained by wave theory of light. In photoelectric effect, light behaves as it is made up of particles.
