What light exhibits characteristics of?
both waves and particles
What is meant by the wave-particle duality of light?
It means that light has features of both waves and particles.
Early in this century scientists found that light has the characteristics of both waves and what?
particles
Are Xrays transverse or longitudinal waves?
X-rays are light rays and they exist as BOTH particles and waves. Light waves are transverse waves
Do both sound and light travel in air in longitude form?
No; electromagnetic waves - this includes light - are always transverse waves.
Light exhibits characteristics of waves particles both waves and particles neither waves nor particles?
Yes, light has both properties of light, and waves.
What light exhibits characteristics of?
both waves and particles
Does light only travel in waves?
If you set up an experiment with equipment that detects and measures wave properties and then run light through it, light behaves like waves. If you set up an experiment with equipment that detects and measures particle properties and then run light through it, light behaves like particles. Light exhibits the propertiers of both waves and particles.
What are similarities of light and sound?
They both travel in the form of waves, and they both travel very fast.
What is meant by the wave-particle duality of light?
It means that light has features of both waves and particles.
Early in this century scientists found that light has the characteristics of both waves and what?
particles
Are Xrays transverse or longitudinal waves?
X-rays are light rays and they exist as BOTH particles and waves. Light waves are transverse waves
Which travels faster radar or light?
Radar is accomplished by bouncing radio waves from the target.Radio waves and light are the same phenomenon ... both are electromagnetic waves,and their speeds are equal.
Do both sound and light travel in air in longitude form?
No; electromagnetic waves - this includes light - are always transverse waves.
Is it true that light has properties of both a particle and a wave?
Photons are the fundamental particles of light, they exhibit wave-particle duality, which means they show properties of both waves and particles.
Both sound waves and light waves travel through an opaque object?
Light waves cannot travel through an opaque object.Sound waves intensity is reduced drastically when it crosses an opaque object.Sound waves cannot propagate without a medium whereas light can travel without a medium of propagation.
Why micro waves are called waves but not rays?
Light "rays" are both waves and particles, that is the nature of light. Thus Micro Waves is the name for a type of light that is in essence just the same as visible light, radio waves, heat and X rays.
