Why are both the photon model and the electromagnetic wave model accepted today as a single theory?
In 1900, http://www.answers.com/topic/james-clerk-maxwell http://www.answers.com/topic/maxwell-s-equations as oscillating http://www.answers.com/topic/electric-field and http://www.answers.com/topic/magnetic-field seemed complete. However, several observations could not be explained by any wave model of http://www.answers.com/topic/electromagnetic-radiation, leading to the idea that light-energy was packaged into quanta described by E=hν. Later experiments showed that these light-quanta also carry momentum and, thus, can be considered http://www.answers.com/topic/elementary-particle: the photonconcept was born, leading to a deeper understanding of the electric and magnetic fields themselves.
What else can I help you with?
If the speed of light is 299792458 meters per second what is the speed of darkness?
When scientists refer to the speed of light, they're talking about the photons which make up light. Darkness is the absence of light; hence, there are no photons. There is nothing to measure. The speed of darkness is undefined as there is no quanta making up darkness. Put simply: There is no speed of darkness!
Has the unified field theory been solved?
No, and we're actually not positive there really is a single "theory of everything".
What ancient theory in astronomy was not accpeted in modern astronomy?
From what little I understand of your question I am guessing that the theory that is no longer accepted could be the Geocentric Model of the Universe. That is the theory that everything revovles aroung the Earth while the Earth is stationary.
Do eclectic critics believe that no one single theory can explain all films?
Yes
Who released the 'Hate My Life' single?
The single "Hate My Life" was released by the music group Theory of a Dead Man. It was released in the year 2008 on their 4th album "Scars and Souvenirs".
Are electromagnetic waves deflected by magnetic and electric fields?
According to photon theory ,electromagnetic radiation consists of photon which are changeless particles. therefore they are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields.
What are thee different theories of light?
Newton's corpuscular theory Huygen's mechanical wave theory Maxwell's electromagnetic wave theory Finally Planck's quantum theory LIght as a single "photon" acts somewhat differently than a wave (of energy).
How is a photon formed?
A photon is formed when an electron transitions to a lower energy level within an atom or molecule, releasing energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This energy is carried by the photon as a discrete particle-like bundle of electromagnetic radiation.
What are some of the theories about light?
Some theories about light include the electromagnetic theory, which describes light as an electromagnetic wave, and the quantum theory of light, which views light as both a wave and a particle called a photon. The theory of special relativity also plays a role in understanding the behavior of light.
Why are both the photon model an the electromagnetic wave model accepted today as a single theory?
Although the particle and wave models of the photon are mutually exclusive a particle model is necessary for the explanation of some experimental results (e.g., the photoelectric effect) whereas for other experiments a wave picture is used. Use of Bohr's Complementarity Principle leads us to consider the question of "What is light, really?" to be meaningless because there is no procedure by which that question can be answered. However, those two models can be reconciled if the wave is a PROBABILITY wave and not the Maxwell sinusoidal wave. Another possibility for reconciliation arises if one considers the photon as a wave packet, as Einstein did very early in his career. A useful model of the photon as a particle has been put forward by G. Hunter and associates in which the photon is considered as an ellipsoidal soliton. For more details of Hunter's model do a GOOGLE search for Geoffrey Hunter, Emeritus Professor of Physics at York University, in Canada. Luis A.

Would photon thesis occur at night?
There is no such thing as photon thesis. Photons are elements of electromagnetic energy. A thesis is a written statement intended to support or prove a theory. If you mean photosynthesis then it does not take place in the absence of light.
Who made the discovery that found the electromagnetic theory of light?
James Clerk Maxwell unified the existing theories of electricity and magnetism into a single set of equations, which led to the discovery of the electromagnetic theory of light.
Are Photons the smallest quantum unit of energy in the electromagnetic theory of light?
Yes, and the size of the photon depends on the frequency of the light. The lower the frequency the smaller the energy of the photon according to the equation... Energy=Planck's constant x frequency. It was Einstein who discovered that light was made of photons when he correctly interpreted the photoelectric effect. Photons are also called "exchange particles" and are responsible for the electromagnetic force. Refer to the related links for more details.
Which theory of light is the photon more consistent with the wave theory or the particle theory?
this is a much more complicated question than perhaps you realise. try looking up "wave particle duality" photons have the strange characteristic of haveing properties of both a wave and a particle.
What is the accepted theory of speciation?
Caralous linnaeus theory is accepted theory of speciation
What is the theory of photon in light?
That theory states that light behaves as group of particles.
Can you identify the inventor of the clock theory?
Richard Schlegel - Photon Clock Theory .
