The behavior of the photons as wave and particle.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The photon falls on the surface with incident light and ejects electrons from the surface. The photon behaves like wave and particle in the photoelectric process.
The photons that are associated with the beam of the light behaves like wave when they travels in the space or any other medium.
When the photons falls on the surface then they transfer the energy to electrons for ejection from the surface. The photons collide with electrons in the energy transfer, so they acts like particle in the energy transfer and ejection of the electrons.
Conclusion:
The photons behaves like wave during travel in the space or any medium with light beam and behaves like particle during the energy transfer and ejection of the electrons from the surface.
