alleryStart learning →Einstein's explanation that enhanced acceptance of quantization concerned which effect?
AThe Coriolis effect
BThe photoelectric effect
CThe Doppler effect
DThe greenhouse effect
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The photoelectric effect
1. One experiment forced the quantum interpretation.
2. Planck's energy quantization needed supporting evidence.
3. Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect provided it.
4. That explanation took energy quantization a step further.
