Question

Why does the creation of photoelectrons provide evidence to support the idea that electromagnetic radiation has particle-like properties? (1 point)

Photoelectrons are created when two balls on a field collide with each other, causing one to roll off Oof the field. This shows that light is made of particles that can physically interact with each other.

Photoelectrons are created when a photon hits an electron, causing the electron to absorb its energy and move off the surface it is on. This is very similar to how two particles or objects react when they collide.

Photoelectrons are created when light interacts with electrons that are floating in the air. They attach onto each other. This is similar to how atoms bond to each other, creating molecules.

hit an object, causing the object to vibrate or move. This suggests that light behaves like a particle, with a discrete amount of energy being transferred to the electron in a similar way to how a particle would transfer energy upon collision.
