What observations about the relative wavelength and frequency can be made about the two waves shown in the image above?

• The waves have the same frequency

• The waves have the same wavelength, different frequencies, and they are both transverse

The light beam bends, changing direction through the glass jar. Which statement explains why the light's behavior supports the particle model of light?

• The light behaves like a particle because the photons in the light are absorbed as it passes through the glass.

• The light behaves like a particle because the electrons in the light are redirected as it passes through the glass.

• The light behaves like a particle because the photons excite the atoms in the glass causing the glass to heat up.

• The light behaves like a particle because the photons in the light slow as it passes through the glass causing it to bend.
