Light - Michelson-Morley, Experiment, Wave-Particle: The German-born American physicist A.A. Michelson set the early standard for measurements of the speed of light in the late 1870s, determining a speed within 0.02 percent of the modern value. Michelson
NANJING, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- A team of Chinese researchers at Nanjing University have created a controllable quantum superposition of the two complementary states of light both as a particle and a wave. The research, conducted by a team led by Professor Ma Xiaosong, demonstrated conclusively t...

The further challenge is to structure light by simultaneously combining more DoFs, for example, a “flying doughnut” pulse as a recent state-of-the-art with a beautiful electromagnetic toroidal configuration in space-time (Fig. 2f), which was observed in an experiment very recently26. The ...
As a result, those electrons should be released earlier to maintain the same emission direction as the more energetic photoelectrons. Surprisingly, the measurement contradicts with the prediction of the CT model. The difference between the experiment and the CT simulation might come from non-...
The photoelectric effect experiment supports the particle model of light rather than the wave model of light.The following are observed in a photoelectric effect experiment.Observation 1: The number of emitted electrons (the photocurrent) depends on the intensity of the incident light.Observation 2: ...
We report on two experiments using an atomic cascade as a light source, and a triggered detection scheme for the second photon of the cascade. The first experiment shows a strong anticorrelation between the triggered detections on both sides of a beam splitter. This result is in contradiction ...
Light modulation refers to the variation in the intensity of light as it passes through transmission gratings coated with different materials at varying spatial frequencies. It is a technique used to measure the spatial resolution of imaging systems. ...
to the adjacent mirror, and back through the gap. Another French physicist, Leon Foucault, used a rotating mirror rather than a wheel to perform essentially the same experiment. The two independent methods each came within about 1,000 miles per second (1,609 km/s) of the speed of light....
