Does a laser make use of the wave nature of light or the particle nature of light or both?
Lasers don't really "make use" of either the wave or particle nature of light. Or they make use of both. But because a laser emits what is called coherent light, it could be argued that the wave nature of light is best at describing the light the laser emits.Lasers make use of Boltzmann energy distribution statistics, which doesn't have anything to do with the particle or wave description of light. Lasers work by creating a population inversion in a chemical compound which creates stimulated emission when excited.Light has both wave-like and particle-like properties at the same time. It is said to exhibit particle-wave duality. Light is what it is -- the fact that we describe it using both a particle and a wave description is only a reflection of our inability to fully describe light in using one single intuitive model (because we have no intuitive experience with things that have both wave and particle properties simultaneously).
Do light and blood have the same properties?
No.
Example of dispersion of light in nature?
example of dispersion of light
What is the scientific name for the speed of light?
c
604 light years in scientific notation?
6.04*102 light years
What is the best characterization of nature of light?
Light exhibits wave and particle properties.
Which of the following is the best characterization of the nature of light?
Light exhibits wave and particle properties.
Is a visual light a transverse wave?
Light has a dual nature, as outlined by Albert Einstein. That means that light has properties of both transverse waves and particles.
What is the scientific term of bending light?
light does not bend
How was light invented?
Light was not invented, but is a naturally occurring phenomenon in nature. Visible light is the result of electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength in the range of 380 to 740 nanometers. Light is emitted by photons, which have the properties of both waves and particles. In nature, sources of light are most commonly thermal in nature, such as the Sun, which emits black-body radiation.
Does light possess photons and ways?
Light emits energy in discrete units called photons. Light has wave properties.
What is a gravity light?
I don't think there is a scientific concept called "gravity light". There is gravity, and there is light. The two are not directly related.
What is the scientific term of light?
The scientific term for light is actually visible light. However, most scientists prefer using just light in there formulas and diagrams.Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation. The fundamental particles of light are called photons.
When plants bend toward the light what is it called?
Plants bend as they need light for photosynthesis. Its scientific term is phototropism.
What describes the natue of light?
In physics, light can be thought of as packets of particles called photons. Light also has a wave nature.
What is the discontinuity of matter?
Matter is discontinous and broken. It is composed of tiny discrete particles called atoms. These atoms are held together by strong attractive forces called bonds--this is what gives matter its appearance of continuity. This is the foundation for the dual nature of light. Just as Louis DeBroglie explains...matters such as base ball and soccer ball are two big to exhibit wavelike properties that's why their particulate properties are observed. And, particles such as elctrons, light, and energy are too small to exhibit particulate properties that's why their wavelike properties are observed. Hence: light, energy and electrons are all kinds of matter. Gideon Ifianayi Professor of Chemistry
What is the chemical Composition of solar light?
Light is made up of particles with wave properties called "photons". It has no chemical composition.
