Who is the scientist that gave us the photon as a way of describing light as a particle?

Physics
1 answer:
Montano1993 [528]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Albert Einstein

Explanation:

Light can be considered as a wave or as particles, in this context Einstein proposed that light behaves like a stream of particles called <u>photons</u> with an energy, in order to correctly explain the photoelectric effect (in fact he won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics because of this explanation).

To uderstand it better:

The photoelectric effect is a fenomenom that consists in the emission of electrons that occurs when light falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.

This  can only be explained based on the corpuscular model of light, that is, light is quantized.

So, Einstein theorized light as a stream of energy packets called photons, this energy is able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a kinetic energy.

What is the answer?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

6.26 m/s

Explanation:

Pretty slow.... the PE (Potential Energy) at 2m will be converted to KE (Kinetic Energy) at the bottom of the track (neglecting friction)

PE    =   KE

mgh = 1/2 mv^2     divide both sides of the equation by 'm'

gh    = 1/2 v^2             multiply both sides by 2

2 gh = v^2               take sqrt of both sides

v = sqrt ( 2gh) = sqrt ( 2*9.81*2) = 6.26 m/s

A rock is thrown at a window that is located 18.0 m above the ground. The rock is thrown at an angle of 40.0° above horizontal.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

B) 27.3 m

Explanation:

The rock describes a parabolic path.

The parabolic movement results from the composition of a uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) and a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward or downward motion (vertical ).

The equation of uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) for the x axis is :

x =  vx*t   Equation (1)

Where:  

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity  in m/s  

The equations of uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward (vertical ) for the y axis  are:

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² - 2g(y- y₀)    Equation (2)

vfy = v₀y -gt    Equation (3)

Where:  

y: vertical position in meters (m)  

y₀ : initial vertical position in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀y: initial  vertical velocity  in m/s  

vfy: final  vertical velocity  in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 30 m/s , at an angle  α=40.0° above the horizontal

v₀x = vx = 30*cos40° = 22.98 m/s

v₀y = 30*sin40° = 19.28 m/s

y₀ = 2m

y =  18.0 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Calculation of the time (t) it takes for the rock to reach at  18 m above the ground

We replace data in the equation (2)

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² - 2g(y- y₀)    

(vfy)² = (19.28)² - 2(9.8)(18- 2)

(vfy)² = 371.86 - 313.6

(vfy)² = 58.26

v_{f} = \sqrt{58.26}

vfy = 7.63 m/s

We replace vfy = 7.63 m/s in the equation (2)

vfy = v₀y - gt

7.63 = 19.28 - (9.8)(t)

(9.8)(t) = 11.65

t = 11.65 / (9.8)

t = 1.19 s

Horizontal distance from where the rock was thrown to the window

We replace t = 1.19 s , in the equation (1)

x =  vx*t  

x = (22.98)* ( 1.19 )

x = 27.3 m

What is difference between non uniform and uniform circular motion?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The object in a uniform motion covers same distances in an equal time period. Objects in a non-uniform motion cover dissimilar distances in an equal time period.

Explanation:

The speed of the object traveling in uniform motion is constant, the actual speed and the average speed of the moving body is same.
