What observation about light supported Einstein's theory?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Llana [10]4 years ago
5 0

In 1905 Albert Einstein had proposed a solution to the problem of observations made on the behaviour of light having characteristics of both wave and particle theory. From work of Plank on emission of light from hot bodies, Einstein suggested that light is composed of tiny particles called <span>photons, </span>and each photon has energy.

Light theory branches in to the physics of <span>quantum mechanics, </span>which was conceptualised in the twentieth century. Quantum mechanics deals with behaviour of nature on the atomic scale or smaller.

As a result of quantum mechanics, this gave the proof of the dual nature of light and therefore not a contradiction.

The reactants in a chemical reaction contain 900 J of chemical energy. The products of the reaction contain 9000 J of chemical e
natta225 [31]
For the reaction to take place the energy of the reactants must reach to the energy level of the products:
we have 900 J in the reactants and 9000 J for the products so the reactants need 8100 J to reach to the value of energy of products (900 + 8100 = 9000)
So the correct answer is C. <span>The reaction absorbs 8100 J of energy from the surroundings as it proceeds. </span>

An object with a pre-weighed mass of exactly (and correctly) 0.54 g is given to 2 students. One student obtains a weight of 0.59
Alina [70]

Answer:

Both student have same percent error.

Explanation:

Given data:

Actual mass of object = 0.54 g

Measured value by one student = 0.59 g

Measured value by second student = 0.49 g

Percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula

Percent error = (measured value - actual value / actual value) × 100

Percent error of first student:

percent error = (0.59 g - 0.54 / 0.54 ) ×100

percent error =  9.3 %

Percent error of second student:

Percent error = (0.49 g - 0.54 / 0.54 ) ×100

Percent error = - 9.3 %

Both student have same percent error. The only difference is that first student measure the greater value then actual value and second student measure the less value then actual, however difference was same and gives same percent error.

What happens to iron oxide during decomposition
elena55 [62]

Answer:

it gets reduced from a +3 oxidation to a 0.

Explanation:

the decomposition of iron oxide to elemenTal can be represented by the following equation: iron oxide (Fe203), the oxidation state of iron is +3 while that of oxygen is -2. therefore, the above reaction is a redox (reduction oxidation reaction)

Which of the following forms a new substance? melting, evaporating, freezing or burning
Slav-nsk [51]
It would be burning be cause when you freeze, evaporate, or melt anything it is just changing how fast the atoms are moving . Think of it like water, ice, and steam, they are all the same thing but in different forms because of melting, evaporating,and melting. Burning is breaking it down.
