Particle theory is a theory because it is someone's idea. Theory means "An assumption based on limited information or knowledge". So, the partcile theory is a theory because it is someone's idea on how all matter is made of of tiny particles.
It is impossible to completely prove, (theory,) and deals with particles.

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?

The particle theory of light, which suggests that light is made up of small particles called photons, was first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905 to explain the photoelectric effect. This theory revolutionized our understanding of light and helped to explain phenomena that the wave theory of light could not account for. Today, the particle-wave duality of light is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics.


How is the quantum theory of light a combination of particle theory of light and wave theory of light?

The quantum theory of light unifies the particle theory of light (photons) and wave theory of light by treating light as both particles and waves. Photons are quantized packets of energy that exhibit particle-like behavior, while light waves exhibit wave-like behavior with properties such as interference and diffraction. Quantum theory provides a framework to understand the dual nature of light.


How would you explain an individual particle with string theory?

An individual point particle in the standard model is described in string theory as a mode of vibration of a string. If for some reason the mode of vibration of the string changed, the particle would change to a different one.


Enumerate the theories of nature of light?

Wave theory - light is a type of electromagnetic wave proposed by scientists like Maxwell and Huygens. Particle theory - light consists of particles called photons, advocated by scientists like Einstein and Planck. Wave-particle duality - the concept that light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like behavior, proposed by quantum mechanics.

Who developed the basic concept of the atom?

John Dalton was the first person to propose the idea of the atom as the smallest particle in 1803. However, equipment needed to prove the theory was not available until the late 1900s.


How does science prove something is true?

You create a theory. Prove the theory to be true by testing it. If it works, it is true. If it does not work, it is not true.


In which country did did Einstein prove the theory of Relativity?

Einstein didn't prove the theory of relativity. It is a theory, a possible explanation, it is generally accepted because it explains a lot of things but that doesn't "prove" the theory, at least not to physicists. See related questions for the country of discovery.
