What is one argument for the sufficiency of wave theory in explaining light behavior?.
- A.Wave theory explains diffraction and interference patterns.
- B.Wave theory accounts for the photoelectric effect.
- C.Wave theory predicts the speed of light in a vacuum.
- D.Wave theory describes light as particles.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Wave theory explains diffraction and interference patterns.
Explanation
Why this works
Wave theory successfully explains phenomena such as diffraction and interference, which are observed in experiments like Young's double-slit. These patterns cannot be adequately described by a particle-only model, supporting the wave perspective.
