Quantum theory successfully explains the photoelectric effect and the Compton effect. (Option c)
- The photoelectric effect observed by Hertz, Compton effect observed by Compton, and the Stark effect observed by Stark were all explained on the basis of quantum theory of light.
- According to quantum theory, light consists of packets of energy. Each packet is called quantum. The energy (E) of each packet is directly proportional to its frequency (ν). Mathematically, E = hc/λ where 'h' is the plank's constant.
