how can i compare the dual nature of light

how can i describe the phenomena that can be explained only by the particle model of light.

how can i empoly the quantum theory to assess the amount of energy that matter gains and loses

how did Einstein utilize Plancks quantum comcept to explain the photoelectric effect

I assume this is an assignment in which the material is available in your text. If not I can find look for some sites on the Internet to get you started.

Here is some information on the photoelectric effect. You need to tell us what you don't understand about your assignment. We help do homework be we don't do it.

i don't understand how to compare the dual nature of light. i don't know what that means

The question speaks to the so-called duality of light. There are some aspects of light that can be explained only if we think of light as being a wave (reflection for example or light passing through a prism or grating to produce the rainbow of colors) and other aspects of light that can be explained as if light was a particle. Here is a site that gives you a good start. If it is too advanced for you I can try another. Or you can go to www.google.com and type in "dual nature light" without the parentheses. You will get a number of sites that will come up. Click on each and see how they look. I would think that you can pick one property of light that is explained by the wave nature and another that is explained by the particle nature and that would be a comparison.
