Discovery of particle theory of light?
Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655), an atomist, proposed a particle theory of light.
What will be the theory after the quantum theory of light?
There is unlikely to be a successor to a quantum theory of light, by the definition that the quantum theory of light is that "Light is made up of discernible particles", has very strong evidence to support it, and no alternative explanation has yet been found to explain such effects as the photoelectric effect.If you mean quantum electrodynamics, the section of the standard model of particle physics that explains light, electricity and magnetism, and therefore the standard model of particle interaction, then the only answer is that absolutely nobody knows. In fact, finding a successor to the standard model, which despite being one of the best theories ever developed is full of more holes than the titanic if taken as a theory of everything, is one of the biggest deals in all of science.One possible successor to the theory of quantum electrodynamics is the section of superstring theory that explains electromagnetism, but there are many who don't think string theory will be the answer to physics' problems, and certainly string theorists have yet to find any strong evidence supporting their theories.
What physicist was the chief architect of the particle theory of light?
It was Max Planck who used the particle theory of light.
Explain how photoelectric effect confirms particle nature of radation?
The photoelectric effect is a quantum electronic phenomenon in which electrons are emitted from matter after the absorption of energy from electromagnetic radiation such as x-rays or visible light.
Enumerate the theories of nature of light?
newton corpuscular theory,huygen wave theory,maxwell electromagnetic theory and planck quantum theory
What is the most modern theory of light?
The most modern theory of light is the quantum theory.
What is the name given to a specific quantum or particle of light?
A quantum of light is named as " PHOTON" . It is a basic packet or a bundle from which a beam of light is made of!

Which model of light states that light travels in a series of waves?
The wave theory of light is the idea, supported by a number of scientists over the years, that light behaves as waves. It has been superseded by Quantum theory, which says (in part) that light sometimes behaves like a particle and sometimes like a wave.
A unit or quantum of light a particle of electromagnetic radiation that has zero rest mass and carries a quantum of energy?
Photon
What physicist was the chief architect of the particle theory of light?
It was Max Planck who used the particle theory of light.
What is the difference between particle and wave theory of light?
Particle theory of light can explain Photoelectric Effect,Compton effect,Pair production.... wave theory of light can explain interference,refraction...
Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom a wave or particle theory?
wave theory of light
Is Compton effect support the wave theory of light or particle theory?
yes it supports the wave theory of light...

The photoelectric effect is a quantum electronic phenomenon in which electrons are emitted from matter after the absorption of energy from electromagnetic radiation such as x-rays or visible light.
What did albert Einstein work for as a scientist?
quantum theory of light
