MCQ
Which theory of light is wave theory or particle theory?
- ADynamic physics
- BStatic physics
- ✓Quantum mechanics
- Dde $–$ Broglie hypothesis
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Quantum mechanics
The essential theory of light was further evolved from electromagnetics into quantum mechanics. Einstein believed light is a particle, i.e. a photon and that the flow of these particles $($photons$)$ is a wave.
