Describe light with respect to its speed and its dual nature as both a wave and a particle.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Scientists have been debating over light being a wave or particle since its recognition.

Sir Issac Newton discovered that light had frequency and other properties. Newton described light to be a particle because it created shadows which were sharp and very clear.

Francesco Maria Grimaldi, claimed that light was a wave. This was because this scientist observed the diffraction of light and hence, claimed light to be a type of wave.

The speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s. Nothing can travel faster than light.

Determine % yield if a student obtains 45 g of product in an experiment and the theoretical amount is determined to be 50 g. *
ycow [4]

Answer:

90%

Explanation:

Percentage yield = ?

Theoretical yield = 50g

Actual yield = 45g

To calculate the percentage yield of a compound, we'll have to use the formula of percentage yield which is the ratio between the actual yield to theoretical multiplied by 100

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100

Percentage yield = (45 / 50) × 100

Percentage yield = 0.9 × 100

Percentage yield = 90%

The percentage yield of the substance is 90%

The laws of electrostatics predict that protons will
GaryK [48]
The laws of the electrostatics were developed by Coulomb and are further detailed or subdivided into two as follows:

(1) The first one talks about the similarities in the charges of the particles and what happens to them. This states that like charges repel.

(2) The second one quantifies the field between two particles with equation showing that field is directly proportional to the masses and inversely to the square of the distance between them.

In this item, we can then say that the protons (having the same charges) will have to repel from each other in accordance to statement 1 of the law.
