Answer:

The evidence that supports the wave particle nature of light as a wave is:

"Light reflects when it hits a surface."

Explanation:

Light exhibit wave-particle duality. This means, in some cases the properties of light are just like a wave and in other cases it behaves as particles.

The properties like reflection or refraction from a surface are attributed as properties of waves. The phenomena of interference and diffraction also fall in this category.

Therefore, from the given options, the only option that supports the evidence of light as a wave is "Light reflects when it hits a surface", as reflection is entirely the property of a wave.

Answer:

Light reflects when it hits a surface    

Explanation:

Light has wave-particle dual nature.

Particle nature:

The light is composed of packets of energy known as photons. The photoelectric effect shows that light has particle nature. When light strikes a metal surface, it ejects electrons if the energy of the light matches the work function of the metal.

Wave nature:

Light is an electromagnetic wave. Reflection, refraction, interference and Diffraction are phenomenons that are described by its wave nature.

Light reflects from a surface-provides an evidence for light as a wave.

sweet-ann [11.9K]
  • Density=1200kg/m^3=p
  • Height=50cm=0.5m=h
  • Acceleration due to Gravity=9.8m/s^2=g

\boxed{\sf Pressure=pgh}

\\ \qquad\quad\sf{:}\dashrightarrow Pressure=1200(0.5)(9.8)

\\ \qquad\quad\sf{:}\dashrightarrow Pressure=600(9.8)

\\ \qquad\quad\sf{:}\dashrightarrow Pressure=5880Pa

Describe what happens to radiant energy once it enters the atmosphere? How does Radiant energy cause weather?
Triss [41]
Once energy from the Sun gets to Earth, several things can happen to it:

Energy can be scattered or absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are dust, soot, sulfates and nitric oxides. When aerosols absorb energy, the atmosphere becomes warmer. When aerosols scatter energy, the atmosphere is cooled.
Short wavelengths are absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere.
Clouds may act to either reflect energy out to space or absorb energy, trapping it in the atmosphere.
The land and water at Earth's surface may act to either reflect energy or absorb it. Light colored surfaces are more likely to reflect sunlight, while dark surfaces typically absorb the energy, warming the planet.
Albedo is the percentage of the Sun's energy that is reflected back by a surface. Light colored surfaces like ice have a high albedo, while dark colored surfaces tend to have a lower albedo. The buildings and pavement in cities have such a low albedo that cities have been called "heat islands" because they absorb so much energy that they warm up.

guapka [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object in motion stays in motion. The orange is moving and then the tray stops making the orange move forward because of inertia.
