How can light be defined in simplest form?
The common definition of 'light' (visible) is electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye. It is only a small part of what is known as the 'electromagnetic spectrum' - which is the range of wavelengths of all possible electromagnetic radiation. Light is electromagnetic radiation, as reported. But, even though it behaves like a wave, it also behaves as a particle. We can call a particle of light a photon. Light has two identities, a "duality" of sorts, that is called wave-particle duality. That's about as simple as it can get. Light is called a "wavicle" by some, and for reason that it displays qualities of both a wave and a particle.
Which term is defined as the emission of energy from subatomic particles?
Radiation
What is the direction of angular momentum?
Angular momentum of a rotating particle is defined as the moment of the linear momentum of the particle about that axis.It is perpendicular to the plane of rotation and parallel to the axis of rotation.
What term is defined as the emission of energy from subatomic particles?
Radiation is an emission. For example, gamma radiation from a nuclear decay is an emission of energy, photons.
When a particle is in motion its velocity is always in the direction of motion?
This is true by definition. Motion is defined by difference in position occurring as a function of time, and "velocity" is is thethree-dimensional vector which quantifies that motion. To simplify the concept to a single dimension, if "x" is the position of a particle on a line at any instant of time, then the velocity of the particle is defined as dx/dt, that is, the change in position x divided by the change in time as the change in time approaches zero as a limit.

Does light bend?
yes when defined as a wave, no as a particle
Why defined the mass of electron?
by a particle called higgs boson
An atom is defined as the?
smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element.
Which term is defined the emission of energy from subatomic particles?
Radiation
Which term is defined as the emission of energy from subatomic particles?
Radiation
How did Schultze define a cell?
Schultze defined the cell as "a particle of protoplasm with a nucleus."
What is the shape and particle motion and density of a solid?
Solid has -Defined Shape -Defined Volume The particle motion is as, they can vibrate, but they can't actually move from one place to another. The denisty is.. D=M/V Density = mass/volume
Is single point an straight line?
No because a defined straight line has 2 end points.
What is defined as a mixture of various sizes of solid ad liquid droplets in the air?
particle pollution
What is geometric damping?
Geometric damping is also called radiation damping. It is defined as energy radiation into a surrounding medium. Damping is defined as energy dissipation property of structures and materials that are put through time-variable loading.
What is the basic of one seconds?
Under the International System of Units, the second is currently defined as : The second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom
