Question
light shining on a strip of metal can dislodge electrons. do you think this is more consistent with light being made up of waves or of particles? waves particles not sure done
Brief Explanations
The photoelectric effect, where light dislodges electrons from a metal strip, is more consistent with light being made of particles (photons). Each photon with sufficient energy can eject an electron. Wave - like behavior of light would not explain the immediate ejection of electrons as observed in the photoelectric effect.
