What do particles look like and act when sound energy is formed?
Sound energy is in the form of a wave.
Give examples for dual nature of light?
The dual nature of light suggests that light exhibits the characteristics of both waves and particles. Light can seem to be particles in that it has discrete chunks (quanta, photons) of energy. Light can also seem to be waves, such as when you have light of one color go through two slits the light from the two paths interfere and cause bands of light and dark on a screen behind the slits. People have 'proven' that light is one or the other, but the truth is in between. You might think of a photon as a little packet of waves, as if you took a long rope or hose and sent a burst of waves down it.Light is more commonly known as photons in particle physics. Photons sometimes act like billiard balls, meaning they come into contact with matter and reflect, deflect, absorb, or refract off of it. On the other hand, photons sometimes act like waves and interfere with one another and themselves in such a way that only waves could be the possible answer for their actions.I want to make sure that it is understood that not only does the photon itself act like a ball, it also itself acts like a wave - all by itself. No matter what experiment you do, either the photons will act like billiard balls, or will act like waves.It's called the "wave/particle duality" of the nature of light (and all other forms ofelectromagnetic radiation too).It means that if you set up an experiment to detect and measure the behavior of waves,you find that light has it. And then, if you set up a different experiment to detect and measurethe behavior of particles, you find that light has plenty of that too. Whichever kind of behavioryou're looking for, light has it.
How do particles behave in a solution?
It depends on the mixture. What is in the solution makes it act differently. Like if you put carbon dioxide with water, (pop) , it will make bubbles. But, if you put chocolate syrup in milk, it will mix completely like the pop but in a different way. So they mostly act by mixing completely into each other, depending.
What is the path that light travels if it does not hit an object or travel through a new medium?
Straight. Gravity bends light. It can act like a lens
Does a light wave act like a moving particle?
yes and possibly no im not sure hope this helped
What are two things light acts like?
In some ways light act like waves, in others like particles.
Is Light has many of the properties of waves but light can also act as though it is a stream of?
... particles.... particles.... particles.... particles.
What do particles look like and act when sound energy is formed?
Sound energy is in the form of a wave.
What does particle mean?
Particles are small bits, discrete portions, as of or from a larger whole. Light photons (energy) sometimes act similarly to particles of matter. Atomic particles (subatomic particles) are individual components, or groups of components, that make up atoms, or are created from atoms, or that interact with them.
Particles that do not usually act as condensation nuclei are?
Ozone Particles
How does light act as it passes through different materials?
It acts like light I guess
When do light act as a wave?
Light has have wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum. Very little of this spectrum can actually be seen. So it behaves like a wave in that it can be decoded in the case of visible light by your eyes and turned into a useful information by your brain. Radio waves, which are lower on the spectrum than visible light, is decoded by radios. So we know it is a wave. What we also know is that it is a particle. Electrons can be harvested into electricity by PV cells so we also know that it is particle too. There is a fair amount of study into light and the properties of light.

What effect if any does water have on light?
water refracts or bends light and that alters the path that the light is taking. It also can act as a prisom and break it up. This is why rainbows are usually present after a rain storm. The water particles left in the air bend the light.
In the Unites States what year was the Clean Water Act passed?
The Clean Water Act passed in 1972. This is a federal law about controlling the pollution of the nation's surface waters like streams, rivers and other waterways.
Why do you need to be concerned about nano science?
The effects of Nano particles is unkown small particles could act much like asbestos does and could pose a risk to human health and the environment.
What is the meaning of confluence?
The act of flowing together; the meeting or junction of two or more streams; the place of meeting., Any running together of separate streams or currents; the act of meeting and crowding in a place; hence, a crowd; a concourse; an assemblage.
