It means that if you design an experiment to detect the behavior of particles, and
run light through it, light behaves as if it's made of particles. And if you design an
experiment to detect the behavior of waves, and run light through it, light behaves
as if it's made of waves. Light has a "dual nature". That means it acts like two things
that we always thought were separate ... waves andparticles.

∙ 13y agoI think you mean dual nature. It means that it may be observed to be particles, or waves, depending on the experiment.

Describe matter and explain why light is not matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and volume. Therefore, light cannot be termed as matter as it has neither. Light is made of atoms and elements.
Can it be said that matter turns into pure energy at the speed of light squared?
Einstein's famous equation, E=mc2, basically means that energy and mass are interchangeable - that under the right conditions, mass can turn into pure energy, and energy can turn into mass. So, in essence, it can be said that matter can turn into pure energy if it is travelling at the speed of light.
Does matter turn into light when achieving the speed of light?
The question "What does matter do when it achieves the speed of light ?" is a BS question, because matter cannot achieve the speed of light.
Do hornworms glow in black light?
They most certainly do! A dual wavelenght mineral light is a sure way to easily find them. They light up bright green.
What scientist said light has a dual nature?
Light was thought either to consist of waves by Huygens or of particles by Newton.
Light that is trapped by matter is said to be?
absorbed
When the energy in light waves transfers to matter?
Then the light is said to be ABSORBED.
Is light that passes through matter is said to be transmitted?
TRUE
Light that passes through matter is said to be transmitted?
TRUE
Matter that allows light to pass through without being scattered is said to be what?
Transparent?
Matter through which light cannot pass is said to be?
opaque chris.crosby class of 2013
Is Call of Duty Black Ops a Dual Layer Disc?
Dual Layer is a term for the DVD discs and the PS3 uses Blue Ray Discs that do not need the dual layer to hold many times the information. It was said that the Xbox 360 was not dual layer, but I can not see how it would matter unless a person wanted to try and make illegal copies
What are the dual properties of light?
it can behave like a particle and like a wave (a photon and the E.M spectrum) are the dual properties of light.

How do you tell when the wii remote has finished charging on a dual charger?
The light on the dual charger will turn green. When it is charging the light is red.
What is a dual theme of a story?
Any parallel plots that are carried through the story can be said to be dual themes.
