Case Based Questions

The photoelectric emission is possible only if the incident light is in the form of packets of energy,
each having a definite value, more than the work function of the metal. This shows that light is not of wave nature but of particle nature. It is due to this reason that photoelectric emission was accounted by quantum theory of light.
