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.

Sever21 [200]

Reaction equations contains symbols which show the physical state of the reactants and products.

<h3>What is a chemical equation:</h3>

A chemical equation is an expression that shows the interaction of reactants to yield products. Usually, symbols such as (s), (l), (g), and (aq) are used to show the state of the reactants and products.

The following are the respective meanings of these symbols;

  • (s) - solid
  • (l) - Liquid
  • (g) - gas
  • (aq) - dissolved in water

Some fuel cells are powered by hydrogen. Scientists are looking into the decomposition of water (H2O) to make hydrogen fuel with
skad [1K]

A.  Decomposing water requires a high activation energy.

Explanation:

In decomposing water to release hydrogen gas to make fuel cells, the process requires a very high activation energy.

                             2H₂O ⇆ 2H₂  + O₂

 This is the overall reaction. O-H must be broken to release free hydrogen to produce hydrogen gas.

The O-H bond is a very strong force of attraction that requires a high activation energy to overcome.

  • The activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome before a reaction takes place.
  • The sun is a renewable source of energy.
  • Water decomposition produces useful oxygen gas needed by all life for cellular respiration.
