a) and c) clearly describe the wave-like nature of light. Compton effect is the answer, since it refers to scattering caused by particles interaction.

a) sounds familiar, but I can't quite remember if the double-slit was used to SHOW the particle-type behavior, or disprove it.
Ah! I just saw Strange Halfspin's answer. She's right. And now I remember - the double-slit should require a particle to go through one slit or the other, where a wave would go through both. So, definitely not a).
I'm therefore a complete idiot, and will guess at b) the Compton Effect, since Strange was correct on the first part. ;)

b) Compton effect
I know the double slit experiment shows a wave-like diffraction pattern.

b) I don't even know what Compton effect is, but it isn't the other 3.

Can't remember, probably should ask this in the physics room.
