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

Chemistry

Sedbober [7]4 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.

How many grams of calcium hydride are needed to form 4.550 g of hydrogen gas
stealth61 [152]
Molar mass 

CaH₂ = 42.0 g/mol

H₂ = 2.0 g/mol

<span>Balanced chemical equation :

</span>CaH2 + 2 H₂O = Ca(OH)₂ + 2 H₂

42.0 g CaH₂ ---------------------  4.0 g H2
    ? g CaH₂ ---------------------- 4.550 g H2

mass = 4.550 * 42.0 / 4

mass = 191,1 / 4

mass =<span> 47.775 g of CaH₂</span>

A sample of thorium-234 has a half life of 25 days. Will the thorium undergo rafioacrive decay and be completely gone in 100 day
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
I don't know terribly much about radioactive decay, but yes, it WILL decay. If it's half life is 25 days, it will be completely consumed in 50 days. By 100 days, it should be long gone. As far as I know, the reason for this is (besides the simple math which is self-explanatory) the Thorium has so many protons/neutrons, it's unstable and thus undergoes radioactive decay as it cannot maintain stable form.

I hope this helps! :)
