Light propagates through space as a wave is evident by all of the following EXCEPT:
- A
Interference
- B
Photoelectric effect
- C
Diffraction
- D
Polarization
The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon in physics where electrons are emitted from a material (usually a metal) when it absorbs light or electromagnetic radiation of sufficient energy. This effect was crucial in the development of quantum mechanics and provided evidence for the particle-like properties of light.
Evidence of wave nature, as light waves overlap and produce constructive or destructive patterns.

Evidence of wave nature, as light bends around obstacles and spreads through small openings.
Evidence of wave nature, as only specific light wave orientations pass through polarizing filters.
