Is light a wave or a particle? Support your answer by citing specific experimental evidence.

Physics

OLga [1]3 years ago

Answer:

Both light and wave.

Explanation:

Experimental evidence shows that light can act as both a wave and a particle. Experiments such as Young's double-slit interference and the Michelson interferometer show that light acts as a wave. Experiments which use Einstein's photoelectric effect show that light can behave like a particle (called a photon)with discrete energy values. You can easily find other examples and more information on these topics with a little research.

The parachute on a drag racing car deploys at the end of a run. If the car has a mass of 820 kg and the car is moving 36 m/s, wh
Lelechka [254]

In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:

Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:

v^2=v^2_o-2ax

where,

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

vo: initial speed = 36m/s

x: distance traveled = 980m

a: deceleration of the car= ?

Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:

\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v^2_o-v^2}{2x} \\ a=\frac{(36\frac{m}{s})^2-(0\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(980m)}=0.66\frac{m}{s^2} \end{gathered}

Next, consider that the formula for the force is:

F=ma

where,

m: mass of the car = 820 kg

a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2

Replace the previous values and simplify:

F=(820kg)(0.66\frac{m}{s^2})=542.20N

Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N
