Is Compton effect support the wave theory of light or particle theory?
yes it supports the wave theory of light...
What is the difference between particle and wave theory of light?
Particle theory of light can explain Photoelectric Effect,Compton effect,Pair production.... wave theory of light can explain interference,refraction...
Which theory of light is the photon more consistent with the wave theory or the particle theory?
this is a much more complicated question than perhaps you realise. try looking up "wave particle duality" photons have the strange characteristic of haveing properties of both a wave and a particle.
Who discovered wave theory of light?
Christiaan Huygens
What phenomenon cannot be explained on the basis of the wave theory of light?
Photo electric emission cannot be explained using wave theroy of light. We need quantum theory.

Limitations of Huygen's wave theory of light?
Give a brief account of huygen wave theory of light
What was Christiaan Huygens' wave theory of light?
Christian Huygens' was one of the first to suggest that light was a wave. His theory, the wave theory of light, stated this, it was opposed by Newton's idea that light was a particle. More recently, scientists such as Thomas Young and Max Planck proved this theory with experiments. So, simply put, the wave theory states that light is a wave, which, as far as we know, is correct.
Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom a wave or particle theory?
wave theory of light
Why did hertz invent the electromagnatic wave?
Hertz invented the electromagnetic wave to test James Clerk Maxwell's theory that light is a form of electricity. Hertz created electric waves and showed that they operated like light.
What is the difference between particle and wave theory of light?
Particle theory of light can explain Photoelectric Effect,Compton effect,Pair production.... wave theory of light can explain interference,refraction...
What are thee different theories of light?
Newton's corpuscular theory Huygen's mechanical wave theory Maxwell's electromagnetic wave theory Finally Planck's quantum theory LIght as a single "photon" acts somewhat differently than a wave (of energy).

Which theory of light best explains the interference of light?
It is the wave theory of light that best explains interference. The particle theory has problems when applied to this observable phenomenon.
