The classical Physcis said that waves and particles are two different components. In Quantum Physics , we know that light ( or eletromagnetic waves ) demonstrates wave-particle duality. In this case, the light behaves as a collection of particles called photons. The energy of each photon is given by hv.

For what did Albert Einstein win the Nobel Prize?

Einstein won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his work on the photoelectric effect.From the Nobel.org website (see link to the left):"for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect"See the Related Questions and Web Links for more information.


Why you need quantum or modern physics while classical physics existed already?

Classical physics was based upon how the things we deal with every day move when we deal with them in everyday situations. As we started to discover new things (protons, electrons, redshift, etc) classical physics failed to completely explain what we observed. Modern physics explained time-and-space related quandries while quantum physics explained wave-and-particle dualities.


What are the six branches of physics and their meanings?

The six branches of physics Classical mechanics, Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics and Statistical mechanics, Quantum mechanics, Relativity, and the interdisciplinary fields. Classical mechanics generally deals with Newton's Laws of Motion and their related subjects. Electromagnetism concerns the interaction and behavior of charged particles. Thermodynamics and Statistical mechanics focuses on changes in temperature, pressure, and the transfer of heat energy. Quantum mechanics deals with substances reacting with radiation. Relativity concentrates on Einstein's Theory of Relativity and its related subjects. The interdisciplinary fields include Chemical Physics, Geophysics, Econophysics, Physical Chemistry, Biological Physics, Medical Physics, and Astrophysics.


Example of technology were related to physics?

Physics was instrumental in creating technology. Physics includes engineering and mechanics. Without these sciences much modern technology could not have been invented. In turn, new technology is used in physics to calculate exact measurements and simulate experiments.


When did Albert Einstein get the Nobel Peace Prize?

He was nominated by the Nobel Prize Nomination committee "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.", and which was based on his 1905 paper on the subject. The final selection and award was made in 1921/1922 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. For more information see Related links below this box.

Is cohesion related to physics?

yep,cohesion is related to physics. cohesion is the force that keeps the molecules of a substance intact.


Why bulb related to physics?

When electricity passes through the filament of a standard light bulb, the electrons collide with the metal atoms present there, producing heat. When an object gets hotter, it causes light to be emmited by electrons transitioning in their atomic orbitals. Heat, light, electricity, all of these are governed by physics.
