MHT CET 2023 Physics question

Dual nature of light is exhibited by

(A)diffraction as well as photoelectric effectCorrect
(B)diffraction as well as reflection
(C)refraction as well as interference
(D)photoelectric effect

Answer: (A)

Solution

The dual nature of light means that light shows both wave behaviour and particle (photon) behaviour. Diffraction (like interference) can only be explained by waves, while the photoelectric effect can only be explained by photons, so a pair containing one wave phenomenon and
