Light is a particle and wave

Lorico [155]2 years ago

Answer:

The answer is the second option, Light is both a particle and a wave.

Explanation:

The first option is incorrect because Light and electrons aren't the same thing, One of the main reasons why is that particles of light which are called photons do not have any mass, while electrons have a negligible mass, but they still have some mass.

Both the third and fourth options are incorrect because Light is both a particle and a wave and they're not mutually exclusive as light behaves like a wave on some experiments and light behaves like a particle in some experiments.

Extra knowledge:

In my opinion, you could almost say that Light is kind of like Schrodinger's cat, if you place a cat inside the radioactive chamber until you open the chamber you would not know that whether the cat is dead or alive, so technically the cat is both dead and alive.

In the same way Light behaves as a wave and a particle and you won't be able to find out which unless you conduct an experiment.

How does the electrostatic force compare with the strong nuclear force in the

diamong [38]

Answer:

Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force

Explanation:

There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:

- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

$F_E=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.

The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.

- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.

At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.

C. A could be ruby (speed of light = 170,000 km/s); B could be diamond (speed of light = 120,000 km/s).

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon that occurs when a light rays crosses the boundary between two different mediums.

When this occurs, the light wave changes speed and also direction, according to Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$ (1)

where

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the first medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the second medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

The index of refraction is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum (c) and the speed of light in the medium (v):

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

Using this definition, we can rewrite eq.(1) as

$\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1} = \frac{v_2}{v_1}$

Where $v_2$ is the speed of light in the 2nd medium and $v_1$ the speed of light in the 1st medium.

Now let's analyze the situation represented in the figure: we see that as the light ray enters the 2nd medium, it bends towards the normal, this means that the angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence:

$\theta_2 < \theta_1$

This means that

$\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1}$

And therefore,

$\frac{v_2}{v_1}$

So, the speed of light in the second medium is smaller than the speed of light in the first medium: this occurs only in option C), which is therefore the correct choice.

A 2kg object weighs 19.6N on earth. If the acceleration due to gravity on mars is 3.71 meters per second what is the object mass

Gre4nikov [31]

The acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s/s

So a 2 kg object will accelerate at 9.8 m/s/s if it is dropped..... actually all dropped objects will accelerate at the same rate. 

The force of gravity on the object is given by Newton's 2nd Law 

F = m . a 

F = 2 . 9.8 = 19.6 N 

Now go to Mars , with a lower gravitational field strength. It only accelerates falling objects at 3.71 m/s/s 

So the force of gravity on the object is F = 2 . 3.71 = 7.42 N 

But the answer is (2) 2 kg, because the mass of the object stays the same and that is what you are asked for.
