1. Particle Model: Invented by Sir Isaac newton. He devised a simple particle model to explain the properties of light. He preferred to consider light as a stream of small particles or corpuscles. These particles were emitted in all directions by a light source, travelled in straight lines and carried energy. For example, in this model, the reflection of light was considered as being similar to a tennis ball rebounding from a wall with equal angles of incidence and reflection.

2. Wave Model: In 1690, the Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens published his Treatise on Light which developed the idea that light, like sound, travelled as a wave through a medium called the ether.

Did any of the models have a hydrogen atom between two carbon atom Why or Why not?

When the models are not shown a person will not be able to know if there are any hydrogen atoms between them. If the models are shown a person will be able to know the answer.

Why do scientists use two different models of light?

To distinguish results based on the only two variables of awareness. Observed (presence) vs the unobserved (absence) changes the outcome in every experiment. Something like a control group, if i am on the right side of the road (as in 50 states, but not territories of the US that is us.


What are the 2 different types of scientific models?

The two different types of scientific models are physical models and conceptual models. Physical models are tangible representations of objects or systems, like a globe representing the Earth or a scale model of a building. Conceptual models, on the other hand, are abstract ideas or frameworks that explain phenomena, such as the atomic model or the theory of evolution. Both types serve to simplify complex realities and aid in understanding and predicting behaviors in the natural world.


When two light waves arrive at the same place at the same time they create a what of light?

Two light waves arriving at the same place at the same time will normally create an interference pattern of light, if they are not perfectly in phase; if they are perfectly in phase they will just create a brighter light.

Why are two models needed to describe light?

Two models are needed to describe light because light behaves both like a wave and a particle. Wave theory is used to describe the wave-like properties of light such as interference and diffraction, while particle theory is used to describe phenomena like the photoelectric effect. Both models are necessary to fully explain the behavior of light in different situations.


How do you replace the third brake light on a Nissan Pathfinder?

the bulbs can be accessed in two ways, in older models with the top mounted light above the rear window the screws are through the lens, remove them and replace the bad bulb. On newer models it is inside on the rear window and the trim that covers the light must be removed from inside.

Is the difference between browning A5 twenty and A5 light twenty shotgun?

The A5 20 ga. was made in two models: Light 20, and Magnum 20. The Light twenty, sometimes just reffered to as a "Browning Twenty" was made from 1958-1976 in Belgium. The receivers are marked "Light Twenty" The Magnum version has a 3" chamber and was made in Belgium from 1967-1976. The receiver on this gun will say "Magnum Twenty" Other differences are the weight of the models
