Name the phenomenon which illustrate the particle nature of light.

Photoelectric effect illustrates the particle nature of light. The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons when electromagnetic radiation, such as light, hits a material. When electromagnetic radiation(light) strikes a suitable substance , it transfers its momentum to the electrons in the target and knock them out of the surface . As only particle can have mass ( and thus momentum), This proves that light is a particle.
