Wave-Particle Duality Quiz

Photons are used to quantify the amount of energy in light and other electromagnetic waves.

The number of electrons knocked loose from a metal increases.

No, the energy of the electrons doesn't change because the energy of each photon is still the same.

<p>No, photons are fine for describing small-scale behaviors like the photoelectric effect, but wave behaviors like refraction, diffraction, and the Doppler effect require a different explanation.</p> Signup and view all the answers
