What else can I help you with?
Is there a phenomenon that does not support the wave nature of light?
Yes, the photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that does not support the wave nature of light. It demonstrates particle-like behavior of light as photons transfer their energy to electrons in a material, causing them to be emitted. This phenomenon cannot be explained using a wave model of light.
What phenomenon allows objects underwater to look like they are in different places?
Light refraction caused by the water
The denser the medium through which it is traveling the slower a what wave propagates?
Electromagnetic wave, namely, light as it travels through denser medium its speed decreases from its speed when it travels through air or vacuum.
What is the property of light waves that leads to the phenomenon of color?
The property of light waves that leads to the phenomenon of color is their wavelength. Different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors that we perceive. For example, shorter wavelengths correspond to colors like blue and violet, while longer wavelengths correspond to colors like red and orange.
What best illustrates that light behaves like particles?
The photoelectric effect best illustrates that light behaves like particles. In this phenomenon, light strikes a material and causes ejection of electrons. This can only be explained if light is considered to have particle-like properties known as photons.
Which phenomenon demonstrates a particle nature of light?
The photoelectric effect demonstrates the particle nature of light. In this phenomenon, light is shown to behave like a stream of particles (photons) by ejecting electrons from a material when it hits the surface.
What two properties of light contradict the idea that light always behaved like a wave?
One is photo electric emission phenomenon. The other one is Raman effect.
Why does light slow down in a medium and how does this phenomenon affect the propagation of light through different materials?
Light slows down in a medium because it interacts with the atoms and molecules in that medium, causing it to be absorbed and re-emitted. This phenomenon affects the propagation of light through different materials by changing its speed and direction, leading to phenomena like refraction and dispersion.
How does a prism bend light and what is the significance of this phenomenon?
A prism bends light by refracting it, which means the light changes direction as it passes through the prism due to the different speeds of light in different materials. This phenomenon is significant because it allows us to separate white light into its component colors, creating a spectrum. It also helps in various optical devices like cameras, microscopes, and spectrometers.
Where does the space time graph bends for a star?
everywhere. it just gets weaker with distance, but the bending extends to infinity (after infinite time, as it propagates at the speed of light like all other information about the star is limited to).
Which property of light is not explained ny the wave model of light?
The wave model of light cannot fully explain the photoelectric effect. This phenomenon involves the emission of electrons from a material when it is exposed to light, and it requires the particle-like behavior of light to be understood.
What do diffraction grating do to light?
Separate the colors that make up white light, like a triangular prism. And I suggest looking at a bright light and putting your hand between the glasses and the light.
