Explain whether there would there be more or fewer configurations available for the gas if the particles were distinguishable than in the case of bosons where the particles are indistinguishable. How did Einstein conclude that the speed of light is unsurpassable? What ...
Light travels directly through water, with little reflection and scattering, and the colour does not change. Milk in water is a suspension of fat and protein particles[微粒] in water. The suspended particles should change the colour of the light in the bottle or glass to a bluish[带蓝色的]...
Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye. It is made out of little packets called photons. Photons behave like particles in some ways and like waves in other ways. If you shine a beam of light at a mirror, for example, it bounces off of it just like a b...
Light behaves as both particles and waves at the same time, and scientists have been able to observe this duality in action using an ultrafast electron microscope. The wave nature is demonstrated in the wavy upper portion, while the particle behavior is revealed below, in the outlines showing e...
What is light in a wave-particle duality?Both a Wave and a ParticleIn quantum mechanics every quantum entity can be described as both a wave and a particle. In some cases this means that particles, like electrons, have a defined mass (energy) but not size as they seem to defy being ...
After all, light travels in straight lines and bounces off a mirror much like a ball bouncing off a wall. No one had actually seen particles of light, but even now, it's easy to explain why that might be. The particles could be too small, or moving too fast, to be seen, or ...
Particles called electrons come together, and the number of electrons flowing each second is the current. Difference between voltage and current Voltage is another term that’s used in regards to electronic circuits about as often as current. Voltage is measured in volts (V). Like current, ...
Visible light is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is transmitted in waves or particles at different wavelengths and frequencies. This broad range of wavelengths is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. That spectrum is typically divided into seven regions in order of decreasing wavelength and...
The ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to that in a medium is the 'index of refraction, n.' Just a few months ago, a team at the Ecole Politechnique Lausanne alleged that they had produced the first photograph of light particles and waves! I am not sure that I understood ...
Waves, particles, and storms in geospace: a complex interplay, edited by G. Balasis, I. Daglis, and I. R. MannIn many ways, James A. Van Allen defined and "invented" modern space research. His example showed the way for government-university partners to pursue basic research that also...
