Which statement explains how constructive interference supports the wave model of light rather than the particle model?

O A. Light strikes a metal surface and knocks electrons loose, which particles would not do.

O B. Two light beams intersect, joining together to form a brighter beam, which is a behavior of waves.

O C. Two beams of light intersect, canceling each other out and forming a weaker beam, which is a behavior of waves.

O D. Light waves bend around a corner, but particles would not travel in bent paths.​

Answer:

B. Two light beams intersect, joining together to form a brighter beam, which is a behavior of waves

Step-by-step explanation:

Constructive interference of waves is the effect of the combination of two waves by the addition of their maxima and minima to produce a wave that has an amplitude which is the combination or the sum of the amplitudes of the two initially separate waves

Therefore, the statement, two light beams intersect, joining together to form a brighter beam, which is explainable by the constructive interference of waves, which is a wave behavior, supports the wave model of light rather than the particle model.
