Which two ways can light be understood

Physics

Maksim231197 [3]3 years ago
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.

Helpp pleaseeeeee …..
Lilit [14]

Answer:

300 cos 30 = 40 a + 40 * .2 * 10

Total force = mass * acceleration + frictional force

260 = 40 a + 80

a = 180 / 40 = 4.5 m/s^2

Check:

15 a + 15 * 10 * .2 = T    acceleration of 15 kg block (assuming a = 4.5)

T = 15 (4.5) + 30 = 97.5     force required to accelerate 15 kg block

260 - 97.5 = 162.5     net force on 25 kg block

162.5 = 4.5 (25) + 25 * 10 * .2

162.5 = 112.5 + 50 = 162.5

4.5 m/s^2 checks out as correct

Do Earth's continents gain or lose water, considering evaporation and precipitation together? How much ? Plz help :)) Thx
ratelena [41]

Answer:

<em>The amount of water in circulation is the same</em>

Explanation:

The water cycle is the pathway in which water moves from the atmosphere to the earth and back to atmosphere ones again.

During the sunny period, the temperature of the earth is heated up, water evaporates to the atmosphere as water vapour. The water vapour gathers as cloud and comes back to the earth as rain, which enters our rivers and stream. Thereby maintaining a continuous cycle.

With the water cycle, the movement of water via precipitation and evaporation is the same on earth.

Light travels at 3. 0 × 108 m/s in a vacuum and slows to 2. 0 × 108 m/s in glass. What is the index of refraction of glass?.
Sergio039 [100]

The required value of the index of refraction of glass is 1.5.

Given data:

The speed of light in a vacuum is, c = 3.0 \times 10^{8} \;\rm m/s.

The speed of light in a glass is, v = 2.0 \times 10^{8} \;\rm m/s.

Light has the tendency to travel from one medium to another, then the difference between the speeds of light in various mediums is determined by a term, known as the index of refraction. The mathematical expression for the index of refraction of glass is,

n = c / v

Solving as

n = \dfrac{3.0 \times 10^{8}}{2.0 \times 10^{8}}\\\\n = 1.5

Thus, we can conclude that the required value of the index of refraction of glass is 1.5.
