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 Compton effect support the wave theory of light or particle theory?
yes it supports the wave theory of light...
Which theory of light best explains the interference of light?
It is the wave theory of light that best explains interference. The particle theory has problems when applied to this observable phenomenon.
Which theory of light is the photon more consistent with the wave theory or the particle theory?
this is a much more complicated question than perhaps you realise. try looking up "wave particle duality" photons have the strange characteristic of haveing properties of both a wave and a particle.
Who discovered light can move?
Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton were both responsible for the knowledge we have today on the motion of light. Huygens proposed his wave theory for light's motion and Newton proposed the particle theory in the 17th century. It is accepted today that light moves in both wave form and particle form at once.
What physicist was the chief architect of the particle theory of light?
It was Max Planck who used the particle theory of light.
Discovery of particle theory of light?
Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655), an atomist, proposed a particle theory of light.

Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom a wave or particle theory?
wave theory of light

What was Christiaan Huygens' wave theory of light?
Christian Huygens' was one of the first to suggest that light was a wave. His theory, the wave theory of light, stated this, it was opposed by Newton's idea that light was a particle. More recently, scientists such as Thomas Young and Max Planck proved this theory with experiments. So, simply put, the wave theory states that light is a wave, which, as far as we know, is correct.
What law explains dual nature of light?
The wave-particle duality theory. This explains why sometimes light appears to travel as a wave, and why sometimes it appears to travel as a particle.
Explain the most modern theory of light?
the theory is very interesting but it is a2-f5+p-0=78p

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.
