Answer:

The electromagnetic theory of light.

A is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Photoelectric effect :

When a light hits a metal then the electrons emits from the metal surface and this process is called photoelectric effect. The emitted electrons are called photo-electrons.

According to this process, we conclude that some electrons were emitted by the zinc plate when exposed to ultraviolet light.

Electromagnetic theory of light :

The particles oscillate in perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave motion.

Light is a electromagnetic wave that can be seen by the human eyes.

All electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.

Hence, The electromagnetic theory of light.
