Clayton Waller · Answer 1

The appropriate response is D. This resembles the photoelectric impact traditional material science figured that in the event that you shone a sufficiently extraordinary light bar on a metal you could get electrons shot out from the metal. It kind of "overlooked" about the recurrence and photon/molecule nature of light.
