What is the theory of light?

Physics

Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Corpuscular theory of light

Explanation:

In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.

Virty [35]
<span>The three major types of symbiosis are mutualism, where both species benefit, commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one species benefits and the other is harmed. Symbiotic relationships can occur within an organism's body or outside of it.                                                                                                                                                                              </span><span>Examples of mutualism include the relationship between single-celled organisms or animals that incorporate algae into their bodies. They give the algae necessary nutrients, and in return receive chemical energy from the photosynthetic algae. Animals that have this sort of relationship include some sponges, sea anemones and clams. Examples of commensalism include remora fish attaching to the bodies of sharks and eating scraps of food that escape their jaws, and barnacles living on the jaws of whales with a similar feeding strategy. Plants have commensal relationships as well, such as many orchids that grow on taller plants and benefit from the additional sunlight they obtain, without actually stealing nutrients from the host plant. Parasitic relationships are many, and parasites include all disease-causing organisms. This category also includes insects such as fleas that suck the blood of hosts externally. Parasitism is a very efficient strategy for organisms, and parasites often lose many of the features of non-parasitic life forms, instead relying on their hosts for many of the functions of life.</span>

Semenov [28]
The nebular hypothesis is the name of the theory where gravitational attraction caused bits of matter to collapse, eventually forming a solar system.

An electron is initially at rest in a uniform electric field having a strength of 1.85 × 106 V/m. It is then released and accele
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

W = 462.5 keV

Explanation:

As we know that when electron moved in electric field then work done by electric field must be equal to the change in kinetic energy of the electron

So here we have to find the work done by electric field on moving electron

So we have

F = qE

F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(1.85 \times 10^6)

F = 2.96 \times 10^{-13} N

now the distance moved by the electron is given as

d = 0.25 m

so we have

W = F.d

W = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(1.85 \times 10^6)(0.25)

W = 7.4 \times 10^{-14} J

now we have to convert it into keV units

so we have

1 keV = 1.6 \times 10^{-16} J

W = 462.5 keV

What is the device used to detect and measure current?
dybincka [34]
The Ammeter is used to detect and measure current or amperage. Also a more common tool now used is a multimeter that detects and measures voltage, current, and resistance.

Any questions please just ask. Thank you.
