Answer:

Wave

Explanation:

The dual nature of light is manifested through its behavior as a particle and as a wave depending on the experimental set-up.

Here, a diffraction grating is an optical component which splits falling on it, into characteristic wavelengths. The grating equation is given as:

n\lambda =2dsin\theta

where n = diffraction order 1,2,3...

λ=wavelength of light

d=distance between the grooves (lines) on the grating

θ=dispersion angle

since the wavelength of light (λ, in nanometers) is comparable to the length of the medium with which the light interacts which in this case is the value of 'd'; the light is treated as a wave.

Situations where the wavelength of light is not comparable with the length scale of the interaction medium, light is treated as a particle.

Answer:

A particle

Explanation:

Modern quantum theory holds that light has both wave-like and particle-like properties. When the length scales involved are large compared to the wavelengths of light (ex., forming images with thin lenses), the

particle nature of light dominates.

Total number of electrons present in 1.8 grams of water is
Liono4ka [1.6K]

1 mole of water = 18 grams (you can find this by finding mass of two hydrogen and one oxygen which is (1*2) + 16 = 18)

1.8 grams = 0.1 moles

1 H2O molecule has 10 electrons so  0.1 moles can be computed as:

(6.023*10^23)*(0.1)*10 = 6.023*10^23 electrons
