Question
Which of the following effects could not be explained by Maxwell's electromagnetic wave theory?

Answer

  1. All of these
Explanation:
  1. Photoelectric effect was discovered by heinrich Rudoy Hertz.
  2. Compton effect was discovered by Aethur Holl Compton.
  3. Raman effect was discovered by Sir Chandrasekhar Venbata Ram. 
So, none of these effect was discovered by Maxwell.
