Quantizing Light: Photon Detection Spectrometers Quiz

How sensors catch individual packets of light. Modern spectrometers rely on light acting as both a wave and a particle to measure distant energy with precision. This photon detection spectrometers quiz looks at the quantum...

Questions: 20 | Attempts: 11 | Last updated: Feb 13, 2026

Sample Question 1
How does a diffraction grating in a spectrometer demonstrate the wave nature of light?

By reflecting light like a mirror

By causing interference and diffraction patterns based on wavelength

By absorbing photons and releasing electrons

By measuring the mass of the incoming light

By heating up the detector

Sample Question 2
The photoelectric effect in a CCD sensor proves that light travels as a continuous, undivided wave.

True

False

Sample Question 3
What happens to the "wave" of a single photon when it is recorded by a pixel in a detector?

It continues to travel through the detector

It undergoes "wavefunction collapse" and is detected as a single point

It turns into a sound wave

It becomes a radio wave

It expands to fill the entire room
