What is a justified judgement regarding the limitations of wave theory?.
- A.Wave theory is sufficient for all light phenomena.
- B.Wave theory must be combined with particle theory for a complete understanding.
- C.Wave theory is outdated and has no relevance today.
- D.Wave theory is simpler than particle theory.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Wave theory must be combined with particle theory for a complete understanding.
Explanation
Why this works
Given the limitations of wave theory in explaining phenomena like the photoelectric effect, it is clear that a dual approach incorporating both wave and particle theories is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of light.
