Question

Which of the following experimental results helps prove the wave nature of light (i.e., which results can only be explained through wave behavior)? Rainbow patterns that form when white light passes through a prism. Interference pattern that forms when light passes through two small slits in a barrier Equal angle reflection of a laser beam forms off a mirrored surface All of the above statements are true

Answer 1

All of the above statements are true

Step-by-step explanation:

Wave nature of light is supported by the phenomena such as interference, polarization of light and diffraction.

Experiments like Young's double slit experiment, Huygens' principle, quantum theory also proved the wave nature of light that light is composed of electromagnetic waves.

Therefore, formation of rainbow patter, interference pattern and reflection at equal angle of a beam of laser, all of these results supports the wave nature of light.
