Assertion : Photoelectric effect demonstrates the wave nature of light. Reason : The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the frequency of light.

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Photoelectric effect can be explained on the basis of quantum theory or particle nature of light where wave nature of light fails to explain the photoelectric effect. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the intensity of incident light. where is the number of photons emitted/ absorbed per unit area per second. and are independent factors.
