The main purpose of this effort is to re-examine results of experiments, the Photoelectric Effect, the Short Wave-Length-Limit X-rays and the Compton Effect which confirmed the particle nature of light in early 20th century. Our analysis proves those experiments' conclusion that light behaves as...
The interpretation of the nature and behavior of light and material particles has evolved significantly over time. Under the presumed infallibility of Newton, who was supporting a corpuscular theory of light, Grimaldi, for the first time, put forward the hypothesis that light: “saltem aliquando ...
Traditionally the wave and particle aspects of light are demonstrated in separate experiments which makes it difficult for students to understand their complementary nature. We present an experiment using a single apparatus that demonstrates the wave aspect, the particle aspect, and most importantly, ...
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
The research, conducted by a team led by Professor Ma Xiaosong, demonstrated conclusively that light can not only be in wave or particle states but also in a quantum superposition of the two. The finding, published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Photonics, helps extend the experim...
Light has a dual nature, wave-like and corpuscular-like; as an electromagnetic radiation, light consists of an electric and a magnetic field perpendicular to each other and, at the same time, perpendicular to the direction the energy is transported by the electromagnetic wave; the electric field...
The velocity and position measure of a moving target can be fully measured in a more straightforward manner, with the help of a fixed single laser beam. The key idea is the use of a structured light SCIENTIFIC REPORTS | 3 : 2815 | DOI: 10.1038/srep02815 1 www.nature.com/scientific...
Experimental efforts and theoretical developmens support that most of the Universe is Dark and a large fraction of it should be made of relic particles; many possibilities are open on their nature and interaction types. In particular, th... R Bernabei,P Belli,S. d'Angelo,... - Particle Ph...
