Sir Isaac Newton, held the theory that light was made up of tiny particles. In 1678, Dutch physicist, Christiaan Huygens, believed that light was made up of wavesvibrating up and down perpendicular to the direction of the light travels, and therefore formulated a way of visualising wave propagation.

Answer:

PARTICLE

Explanation:

As per the theory proposed by the Newton for the propagation of light he assumed that light is made up of PARTICLEs

He said that light is made up of small rigid particles which behaves elastically. When light shows reflection then this is an example of 100% elastic collision where these particles will strike the surface and rebound with same speed at same angle with the normal

So this theory explains the propagation of light in particle form and hence this theory was known as particle theory of light

So as per Newton's explanation light is made up of PARTICLES

Answer:

Elastic potential energy, $E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J$

Explanation:

Charge, $q=9.4\times 10^{-10}\ C$

Potential, V = 50 V

It is required to find the electric potential energy in a capacitor stored in it. The formula of the electric potential energy in a capacitor is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}qV\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.4\times 10^{-10}\times 50\\\\E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J$

So, the electric potential energy stored in the capacitor is $2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J$

The weight of a body of certain mass becomes zero in space.why?write with reasons

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Weight is what you get when a certain amount of gravity is acting on that mass, and something, like the surface of a planet, is resisting that action. In space, when falling freely, there's nothing resisting the pull of gravity so weight disappears. Mass however stays.

One advantage to using this form of circuit is that

It has to be the last one because whenever lights are turned on it decreases because all lights are on at the same time. It's good to just have one light on. It doesn't use as much electricity.
