Physics

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.

Which of the following will not conduct an electrical current?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<em>Pure water </em><em>won’t  conduct electricity</em>

<em>Option A</em>

Explanation:

Pure water doesn’t contain salts or impurities. It is the salts that dissociate to form ions that act as charge carriers in conducting solutions. For a medium to conduct electricity it should have carriers to carry the electrical charge.

Thus absence of charge carriers make pure water non conducting. Charge carriers in metals are electrons and in ionic solutions they are positive and negative ions.

Tap water, aquarium water and ocean water contains dissolved electrolytes. When electricity is passed through them the electrolytes dissociates into ions and these ions conduct electricity.
