Question

Which of the following phenomena support the wave theory of light ?
(a) scattering
(b) interference
(c) diffraction
(d) velocity of light in a denser medium is less than the velocity of light in the rarer medium

• A. a,b,c
• B. a,b,d
• C. b,c,d
• D. a,c,d

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Wave theory of light explains the phenomenon of interference, differaction and velocity of light in a denser medium or rarer medium but this theory fails to explain the scattering of light.
