How is a wave measured?
by wavelength (distance from the very top of one wave to the top of the wave behind it)
How can you increase the intensity of a wave?
put more mass behind it
What wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance?
It would be a longitudinal wave. If you were to conduct an experiment to see which wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance, you would take a slinky and push it. And if you watch the wave, you'll see that it travels through the slinky outward, and travels back to the disturbance (your hand). This wave is a longitudinal wave.
Can light behave as both a wave and a particle?
Yes. Depending on the experiment that you do, light acts like either one or the other.
How did young achieve the condition of phase coherence in young double slit experiment?
In Young type double slit experiment, two phase coherent spherical waves are created by passing a plane wave (e.g. laser light)
What was Mr Ross's motive for creating the experiment he called the wave?
my bum
What is the book The Wave about?
no a class experiment
What is the wave the book about Hitler?
no a class experiment
When do photons behave more like a wave?
When we design an experiment that detects wave behavior. They behave more like particles when we design the experiment to detect particle behavior.
How is a wave measured?
by wavelength (distance from the very top of one wave to the top of the wave behind it)
What is the results in Davisson-Germer experiment?
shows the wave nature of electrons
Why electromagnetism is a wave?
electromagnetic radiation is not just simply a wave. When observed it appears to be a particle, when measured a wave. See the wiki article on the double-slit experiment.
How can you increase the intensity of a wave?
put more mass behind it
What causes a light to go from being a particle to a wave?
Light doesn't change from one to the other. It's both all the time. If you design an experiment that reveals wave characteristics, light delivers them, and if you design an experiment that reveals particle characteristics, light delivers them too. If anyone asks "Is light a wave or a particle ?", the best answer is "Yes".
What do electrons and light have in common?
Both have wave and particle behavior depending on the experiment being done.
What wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance?
It would be a longitudinal wave. If you were to conduct an experiment to see which wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance, you would take a slinky and push it. And if you watch the wave, you'll see that it travels through the slinky outward, and travels back to the disturbance (your hand). This wave is a longitudinal wave.
Fourier analysis shows that the saw tooth wave consists of which type of wave?
Fourier analysis shows that the saw wave is constructed through manipulation of a sine wave, I can't remember the maths behind it but it's definitely a sine wave.
