  1. Question 1

    Q1. The photoelectric effect demonstrates light's particle nature. What explains a similar effect in the Compton effect?

    • A) Photon absorption by electrons
    • B) Photon scattering by free electrons
    • C) Electron emission from metals
    • D) Wave-particle duality of electrons

    Answer: Photon scattering by free electrons

    Explanation: Compton effect involves photon-electron scattering, not emission. Option C confuses with photoelectric effect.
