What does not support the wave nature of light?
photoelectric effect
Is there a phenomenon that does not support the wave nature of light?
the photoelectric effect doesn't
Can classical physics explain the photoelectric effect?
No. To explain the photoelectric effect, you have to think of light as a particle, not a wave. The fact that light can be both a wave and a particle is part of quantum mechanics, not classical physics.
Is there any importance in photoelectric effect?
One of the most revolutionary concepts in physics is the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect occurs when radiant energy is impinged on various metals and electrons are ejected from the metal surface. The ejected photoelectrons have a certain kinetic energy which can be measured by the produced voltage. Photoelectric current cannot be explained by the wave theory as diffraction and interference can, however. The photoelectric effect is important because it revealed some of the limitations of the classical wave theory and it gave closer insight into the nature of light- namely the quantization as photons.
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...

Compare wave and particle models of light. What phenomena can only be explained by the particle model?
The photoelectric effect is a phenomena that can only be explained by the particle model.
How does light behave as a wave and as a particle?
The wave behavior can be seen in phenomena such as interference.The particle behavior can be seen, among other things, in the photoelectric effect.
Why does the color of the light source determine whether the photoelectric effect will occur?
it doesn't matter how bright the light is in order to break free the electrons from the substrate but the kind of colour used is very important.This is because electron will start to move when light is up close to the blue end of the spectrum.
Why light posses dual nature?
light travel as a wave but it carries photon which is consider to be a particle.so photon done function as a particle and wave motion made effect as wave.
Light has what properties?
Light has both wave and particle properties. In some cases, the wave property is observable (Young's double slit experiment) and in other cases, the particle property is observable (photoelectric effect).
What two experiments involving light and matter could not be explained by the wave theory of light?
In the days before quantum mechanics there was discussion whether light was a particle or wave. The problem was that neither one could explain all phenomena completely. For example, the particle theory couldn't not account for interference patterns that can be made with light, but the wave theory could not account for the photo-electric effect. In this effect a photon (a light particle) deposits energy into a metal causing the metal to eject an electron. The puzzling thing was that increasing the intensity of the light did not increase the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, only the amount of such ejected electrons. The photo-electric effect was finally tackled by Albert Einstein (for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1921), and light is now regarded as consisting of 'wave-packets' with photons have a unintuitive wave-particle duality.
Proofs of the particle nature of light?
Albert Einstein's Photo-electric effect is one of the proof of the particle nature of light. The experiment on the wave particle duality is another proof pf the particle nature of light.
