D. Photoelectric effectIV. Bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AA-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III
  2. BA-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
  3. CA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
  4. DA-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I

Correct answer

C. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

Step-by-step solution

Interference involves the spatial redistribution of energy without any overall loss or gain, strictly obeying the principle of conservation of energy (A matches III).

Diffraction is the phenomenon of bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or aperture (B matches IV).

Polarization is a characteristic property exhibited only by transverse waves, such as light waves, and cannot be demonstrated by longitudinal waves like sound (C matches II).

The photoelectric effect provides direct evidence for the particle (quantum) nature of electromagnetic radiation (D matches I).

Therefore, the correct matching code is A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.

Answer: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
