Which two ways can light be understood

1 answer:

3 0

Around 1700, when Mechanics was made for the first time by Sir Isaac Newton, he said about the nature of the light that it resembles thiny particles. Somewhat latter , around 1865, Maxwell discovered that the Electromagnetic waves have the same speed as the speed of light. From this resemblance he deduced that light should be an Electromagnetic wave. Latter than this, at around 1900, when trying to explain some peculiarities of the Photoelectric effect, Eistein postulated that light behaves like thiny particles (the older Newton Theory from 1700).
Today we say that LIGHT HAS A DUAL CHARACTER. It is also a wave and a particle. In some experiments light behaves like an Electromagnetic wave (diffraction, reflection, refraction), in other experiments light behaves like thiny particles (quanta): the Photoelectric effect and the Compton effect.

Why is the meteor shower is best observed after midnight?

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

At dawn your location on earth is pointed straight in the direction of the Earth's travel in its orbit. Between midnight and dawn you are moving head-on through the location of the meteors in space, which means that you will, on average, observe more of them.

A constant magnetic flux through a closed loop of wire induces an emf in that loop. True or false?

miskamm [114]

Answer: False

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the Faraday law, which say

dФm/dt=-ε it means that the variation of the magnetic field flux with time is equal to the emf ( electromotive force). In our case the magnetic flux is constant then there is not a emf induced in a wire closed loop.

Problem: Hooke's law states that the force on a spring varies directly with the distance that it is stretched. If a spring has a

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Restoring force of the spring is 50 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 100 N/m

Stretching in the spring, x = 0.5 m

We need to find the restoring force of the spring. It can be calculated using Hooke's law as "the force on a spring varies directly with the distance that it is stretched".
