Question

which option supports the wave model of the nature of light?
a. the absorption of light by a surface
b. the emission of particles when light strikes a surface
c. a hot piece of metal that glows
d. destructive interference of light

Explanation:

Interference is a wave - like phenomenon. When two or more light waves interact, they can interfere constructively or destructively. This behavior is characteristic of waves and supports the wave model of light. Absorption of light by a surface can be explained by both wave and particle models. The emission of particles when light strikes a surface (photo - electric effect) supports the particle model. A hot piece of metal that glows is related to black - body radiation and can be explained by quantum theory which has aspects of both wave and particle nature, but interference is a more direct support for the wave model.

Answer:

D. Destructive interference of light
