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

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.

Directions: Read the following excerpts carefully, then identify whether they employ informative, persuasive, or argumentative w
Savatey [412]

Hi there!

Informative writing has the intent to inform or educate us on a particular topic or event. It gives us more information and insight onto something.

Persuasive writing has the intent of convincing us to believe in a certain idea or to perform a certain action. For instance, advertisements have a persuasive intent; they are persuading us to buy a product or service.

Argumentative writing is similar to persuasive writing in the sense that they are persuading us to believe a certain idea. However, they are often based on logic and fact rather than opinions.

Let's look at the first excerpt.

<em>This morning at 9 a.m., a school bus collided with a car at the intersection of Osmena and Cabrera streets. The passengers were not injured, but the medical personnel checked each student as well as the driver before they were transported to their school.</em>

This text doesn't try to convince us in believing something. It doesn't argue anything and it only tries to give us more insight onto the event, which is a car accident. No opinions are stated and only events are given.

Therefore, this excerpt uses an informative writing technique.

A cue ball, moving with 9.0 N·s of momentum strikes the nine-ball at rest. The nine-ball moves off with 2.0 N·s in the original
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

P = 7.28 N.s

Explanation:

given,

initial momentum of cue ball in x- direction,P₁ = 9 N.s

momentum of nine ball in  x-  direction, P₂ = 2 N.s

momentum in perpendicular direction i.e. y - direction,P'₂ = 2 N.s

momentum of the cue after collision = ?

using conservation of momentum

in x- direction

P₁ + p = x  + P₂

p is the initial momentum of the nine balls which is equal to zero.

9 + 0  = x  + 2

x = 7 N.s

momentum in x-direction.

equating along y-direction

P'₁ + p = y + P'₂

0 + 0 = y + 2

y = -2 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to resultant of the momentum .

P = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

P = \sqrt{7^2+(-2)^2}

      P = 7.28 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to P = 7.28 N.s

Equation of uniformly accelerated motion​
Romashka [77]

This means acceleration a is constant.

Let

a) vo be the initial speed, at t=0

b) v be the final speed after time t

c) d distance travelled in time t

Then we have:

a) v=vo+a×t

b) v²=vo²+2×a×d (Galilei's equation)

c) d=vo×t+a×t²/2

d) average speed vm=(vo+v)/2
