Best Answer

1) Photo-electric effect.

2) Spectrum of black-body radiation.

3) Compton scattering spectrum.

4) Disappearence of interference pattern with two slits, if a way is made to determine which slit the light went through.

All three of these can be easily explained by assuming that light is composed of photons, and that the energy of those photons is proportional to the frequency of the light. None of three can be explained by assuming light is purely an electro-magnetic wave.

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.


Is light considered a molecule?

No, it's not. But there are two theories as to the nature of light. One says it's a wave-form and the other says it's particulate. Both theories hold water in that they can be used to deduce the expected behaviour of light under different circumstances.


Is light particulate matter?

Particules of light -- called photons -- have neither mass nor volume. In that sense they can not be considered matter.


Does an experiment with concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated ammonia provide evideence for the particulate nature of matter?

The question is not so clear.


What is the nature of light particle?

Light is said to exhibit wave-particle duality because it is observed to behave as both a wave and a particle. When we shine light into narrow slits, the phenomenon of interference occurs and leads us to believe that light behaves as a wave. On the other hand, if light is shone on a metal, the spray of electrons indicates light behaves as a particle. This is the dual nature (wave and particle) behaviour being referred to. Hope this helps!


What two categories are used to classify particulate matter?

Source and state are just two of the categories used to classify particulate matter. So, source identifies the origin as human- or nature-made while state indicates configuration as a liquid or solid.
