Is light a wave or a particle? (points 1)

None of the choices is an acceptable answer. Light ... as well as all other forms of electromagnetic radiation ... is both. When you run light through an experiment built to detect particles ... such as photoelectric stimulation of electron emission ... the light behaves like a stream of particles. When you set up an experiment built to measure and detect waves ... like reflection, refraction, diffraction, dispersion, constructive and destructive interference ... the light does all of those things too. Scientists would only debate the question if light absolutely positively had to be one or the other, and could not possibly be both. Such a debate isn't necessary, and scientists no longer waste their time arguing about it. Light is both. Between Maxwell and Einstein, the wave/particle duality of light had been convincingly demonstrated well over a hundred years ago.

Explain how we can deduce the temperature of a star by determining its color.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: Stars are bright and have the ability to emit lights of various wavelength. The color of a star plays a significant role. It helps us in determining its temperature. It ranges from reddish color to a bluish-white color. A red color star indicates that the star is of low temperature, whereas   a bluish-white star indicates that the star is of high temperature.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

b)determining the electric field due to each charge and adding them together as vectors.

Explanation:

The electric Field is a vector quantity, in other words it has a magnitude and a direction. On the other hand, the electric field follows the law of superposition. The electric field produced by two elements is equal to the sum of the electric fields produced by each element when the other element is not present. in other words, the total electric field is solved determining the electric field due to each charge and adding them together as vectors.
