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.

Star #1 is approaching the Earth with speed v. Star #2 is receding from the Earth with the same speed v. Measurements of the sam
leva [86]

Answer:

b. Both stars will have the same shift.

Explanation:

It's a very simple problem to solve. Star 1 is approaching toward Earth with a speed v, so let's assume that the change in Doppler Shift is +F and Star 2 is moving away so the change in Doppler shift is -F. But it's time to notice the speed of both stars and that is same but only directions are different. speed is the main factor here. The magnitude of both shifts is F as we can see and + and - are showing there direction of motion. So, because of same amount of speed, both stars will have same shift magnitude. (Just the directions are different)

Answer:

Lubrication is used to reduce friction. It is generally used for moving machine parts. The lubricants are the substances which are used to reduce the friction which acts between two surfaces in contact, between which relative motion can occur.
