Huygen's wave theory of light could not explain

A

Diffraction

B

Interference

C

Polarisation

D

Photoelectric effect

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Wave theory of light could explain interference, diffration and polarisation but could not explain photoelectric effect. [photoelectric effect was explained by Einstein on the basis of quantum theory of light.]
