When the particles ot the medium move back and forth along the direction of the wave motion the wave is a?
longitudinal wave
Who first came up with the idea of particles and what was his theory?
An ancient Greek, Democritus, hypothesized all things were made of atoms and that nothing could be smaller than atoms. Albert Einstein in 1905 demonstrated through mathematical theory that the motion of pollen particles in water (Brownian motion) was due to water molecules hitting against the pollen particles, which proved the atomic and molecular theory. This was confirmed experimentally in 1908. Also in 1905, Einstein explained the photoelectric effect (the emission of electrons from matter in consequence of absorption of energy from light) and concluded that light consisted of particles he called "photons". His Nobel Prize was awarded for explaining Brownian motion and proving the existence of atoms and molecules and for explaining the photoelectric effect in terms of particles of light. [He never received a Nobel Prize for his special or general theory of relativity].
What are the 4 kinetic molecular theory?
1. Gases 2.Particles in motion 3. 4. Particle Energy Sorry but these are the right ones just have not found number 3.
How do you prove the existence of an atom?
Using modern technology like scanning tunneling microscopy, pictures can be taken of atoms. Their existence has also been proven through Einstein's Brownian motion calculations, to mathematically estimate the distance tiny particles will move based on molecular bombardment. Another experiment was done using these calculations on particles of resin in water with positive results.
Where do motion pictures come from?
motion pictures came from the bottom of the universe. they were created my thomas Edison and the dude that created the light bulb.. motion pictures are the same as film. film is better than motion pictures.
What identifies how the particles of gases affect one another's motion?
they affect one another's motion only when they collide.
How does pressure affect a thermometer?
Heat is transferred thru the glass of the thermometer to or from the liquid (mercury) inside. The heat causes the liquid to either expand (hot) or contract. Since the large bulb end contains most of the liquid, but grass doesn't expand as much as the liquid, the expanding liquid forces itself up (if hot) into the narrow tube, which indicated the temperature. On the molecular level, particles outside the thermometer have a certain kinetic energy (KR) and the particles inside the thermometer also have a certain KE probably a different amount or they are already at the same temperature. Particles (either molecules or atoms) when in either the solid or liquid state, are constantly in motion (for solids, they just vibrate about a fixed, central position. Collision of the particles outside the thermometer and the thermometer itself cause exchange of some KE until the average KE of the outside particles is equal to the average KE of those in the thermometer. When this occurrs they are at the same temp. This change in KE of the particles in the thermometer causes more motion, and this extra motion causes what we call expansion. All molecules in the thermometer are pushing against each other with more force (KE).
What statement identifies how the particles of gases affect one another's motion?
they affect one another's motion only when they collide.
How does the transfer of heat to an object affect the motion of the particles?
i dont now
How does such motion affect the matter's volume and shape?
It Moves the particles diffrent direction and that's what makes the difference :)
Which identifies how the particles of gases affect one anothers motion?
You think probable to the kinetic theory of gases.
How can you describe the motion of the particles in a solid?
The particles are tightly packed so they vibrate.
Which states identifies how the particles of gases affect one anothers motion?
You think probable to the kinetic theory of gases.
What is the motion of particles?
Brownian motion
When a sample of gas is heated what happens to the motion of the particles?
The motion of particles is accelerated.
Is the random movement and mixing of particles?
Brownian motion is the random moving and mixing of particles.
The movement of particles?
Brownian motion is the random moving and mixing of particles.
