Which of the following phenomena support the wave theory of light?
(1) Scattering
(2) Interference
(3) Diffraction
(4) Velocity of light in a denser medium is less than the velocity of light in the rare medium
- A 1,2 and 3
- B 1,2 and 4
- C 2, 3 and 4
- D 1, 3 and 4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 2, 3 and 4
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
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.
