Who concluded that particles can have some of the properties of light?
jesus
Why was wave theory of light inadequate and was rejected?
In some experiments, light appeared to have wave properties, but in others, it appeared to have particle properties. The two ideas were believed to be in conflict - light was believed to be either one or the other. However, today it is accepted that light has both particle and wave properties.
Light has what properties?
Light has both wave and particle properties. In some cases, the wave property is observable (Young's double slit experiment) and in other cases, the particle property is observable (photoelectric effect).
Why can laser light can never be white light?
You may be correct in inferring that you are unable to purchase a simplistic white laser pointer, however white laser lights do exist in the scientific community for research.Before I go into detail, the reason why white lasers are fairly uncommon, especially in a commercially available laser pointer form is due to the construction of the regular laser pointer. You must understand that white light consists of a large variation of different wavelengths of light including the blue, red and green wavelengths all mixed together. The individual colors are restricted to a small range of wavelengths, such as blue, red or green.Laser light is usually spatially coherent, which means that the light either is emitted in a narrow, low-divergence beam, or can be converted into one with the help of optical components such as lenses. Light of a specific wavelength that passes through the gain medium is amplified (increases in power); the surrounding mirrors ensure that most of the light makes many passes through the gain medium, being amplified repeatedly. Part of the light that is between the mirrors (that is, within the cavity) passes through the partially transparent mirror and escapes as a beam of light. Most practical lasers contain additional elements that affect properties such as the wavelength of the emitted light and the shape of the beam. In short, laser light is most easily made when restricted to a specific wavelength, hence giving it its characteristic color, such as a blue, red or green laser.Now, typically, lasers are thought of as only emitting light with a narrow wavelength spectrum ("monochromatic" light). This is not true of all lasers, however: some emit light with a broad spectrum, while others emit light at multiple distinct wavelengths simultaneously. The laser type you may be interested in is the Ion Laser. An Ion Laser is a gas laser which uses an ionized gas as its lasing medium. Like other gas lasers, ion lasers feature a sealed cavity containing the laser medium and mirrors forming a Fabry-Perot resonator. Unlike normal gas lasers, the energy level transitions that contribute to laser action come from ions. A mix of argon and krypton can result in a laser with output wavelength appearing as a brilliant white laser light.Because of the large amount of energy required to excite the ionic transitions used in ion lasers, the required current is much greater, and as a result all but the smallest ion lasers are water cooled. A small air cooled ion laser might produce, for example, 130mW of light with a tube current of 10A @ 105V. This is a total power draw over 1 kW, which translates into a large amount of heat which must be dissipated. It is therefore easy to see why such a laser would not be easily commercially available as well as compact enough to fit into a laser pointer size, since it requires a cooling system and powerful energy source.
How laser works?
Lasers are based on the phenomeon that when you give an atom specific energy, and some photon with some specific energy hits it, the atom will release a photon with the same wavelength and in synchrony as the one who hit him, plus the 1st photon, unchanged. More scientifically speaking: Lasers are composed of: 1) emission medium, which is the material whose atoms will get excited and release photons; 2) optical cavity, that will reflect the photons back and forth producing the phenomenom called stimulated emission, and let some of the rays escape (visible laser rays); 3) power source, that give energy to the atoms so their electrons become excited.
What type of light makes you blind?
Some lasers have the ability to make you blind.
What are some of physical properties for light?
it is iron

What are some uses for optical lasers?
Optical lasers, also known as laser optics, are beams of light that come in many different strengths and possible uses. Modern computer mice use lasers to detect movement. Video game systems and DVD players use lasers to access discs. More powerful lasers are used for surgery and in laboratories as tools for experiments.
Are rubies used in electronics?
Yes, rubies are used in some LASERs. These LASERs are (not surprisingly) called ruby LASERs.
What is the difference between lasers?
well some lasers can burn and some cannot. and some that cannot are more powerful than others
What are some properties of light?
It travel in a higher speed than sound

What are some useful properties of light?
It travel in a higher speed than sound
What are some of the properties of a boot?
It must be strong or light. Sincerely Darren Teng
Where can you find green lasers?
Just go to Ebay and search green lasers and you'll get some results
What are some properties of composite materials?
hard, strong, light weight, effective, expensive.
