In the photoelectric effect, an electric current forms when light strikes a metal
surface. Which statement explains what causes the current?
O A. Electrons flow from one atom to another because the light acts as
a wave.
O B. The light causes electrons to flow in different directions within an
atom because light acts as a wave.
O C. Electrons are destroyed when light strikes a surface because the
light acts as particles.
D. Electrons are knocked off the surface when light strikes it because
the light acts as particles.

Answer 1

Explanation:

D. I hope i helped it should be right but if it isn't my bad

Answer 2

In the photoelectric effect, an electric current forms when light strikes a metal surface because electrons are knocked off the surface when light strikes it because the light acts as particles, The correct option is D.

What is the photoelectric effect?

It is the process of emission of electrons from the material because of absorption of electromagnetic radiation in form of photons of light waves.

The photoelectric effect explains the particle behavior of the light waves.

The photoelectric effect is responsible when electrons are knocked off the surface when light strikes it because the light acts as particles.
