It means that if you design an experiment to detect the behavior of particles, and
run light through it, light behaves as if it's made of particles. And if you design an
experiment to detect the behavior of waves, and run light through it, light behaves
as if it's made of waves. Light has a "dual nature". That means it acts like two things
that we always thought were separate ... waves andparticles.
Isaac Newton proposed that the heavenly bodies were composed of matter and not pure orbs of light. His work on the laws of motion and universal gravitation significantly influenced our understanding of the physical world.
Einstein's famous equation, E=mc2, basically means that energy and mass are interchangeable - that under the right conditions, mass can turn into pure energy, and energy can turn into mass. So, in essence, it can be said that matter can turn into pure energy if it is travelling at the speed of light.
Matter consists of atoms and molecules that have mass and occupy space. Light, on the other hand, is a form of energy that behaves like a wave and a particle (photon). It does not have mass or occupy space in the same way that matter does, which is why it is not considered matter.
No, matter does not turn into light when achieving the speed of light. As an object with mass accelerates towards the speed of light, its energy increases, but it does not transform into light. It would require an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object with mass to the speed of light.
E=MC(squared) According to einstein, matter is made of energy, if you multiply the mass with c, you get the energy composition of the said body in a said moment in time.
Absorbed or attenuated.
TRUE
Light was thought either to consist of waves by Huygens or of particles by Newton.

Dual Layer is a term for the DVD discs and the PS3 uses Blue Ray Discs that do not need the dual layer to hold many times the information. It was said that the Xbox 360 was not dual layer, but I can not see how it would matter unless a person wanted to try and make illegal copies
The double-slit experiment shows that light and matter can behave as both waves and particles. When a single particle or photon is sent through two slits, it creates an interference pattern like a wave. This demonstrates the dual nature of light and matter, where they can exhibit characteristics of both waves and particles.
The matter that transmits light but no detail is said to be translucent. Translucent materials allow light to pass through but scatter it in different directions, preventing a clear image from forming on the other side.
The light on the dual charger will turn green. When it is charging the light is red.
Any parallel plots that are carried through the story can be said to be dual themes.
Light is not matter, it is energy.
I just had a car inspected with a check engine light on--inspector said it did not matter in Texas.
