It is believed the German mathematician Max Planck was instrumental in this. there was the wave-particle theory of light, it acts like a wave ( say in focusing lenses, for example, not too different physics-wise from, say tuning a radio, and yet it is also seen as particles. is it matter or energy,. Light is of course, energy. The notable analogy of the wave/particle duality ( as it was called) would be the situation of waves on the ocean which are both en energy ( the motion of the waves, often following a sine pattern), and matter- H20. that is the best anaogy. There is also the Quantum ( like quantity) theory of light. )

What is the definition of mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves: they are waves that propagates by the vibration of particles of the medium(Solid,Liquid,Gas), so it needs medium to propagate.It may be transverse waves or longitudinal waves.
What is a similarity between infrasound and ultrasound?
"Sound" is a mechanical wave traveling through a medium. Ultrasound is sound, but its frequency is higher than humans can hear.
What is the medium that connects the receiver to the transmitter?
Any number of things can stand between a transmitter and receiver and "connect" them. If we're talking about electromagnetic radiation (like radio waves), these signals can move through the vacuum of space, through air, or through a number of other materials. Metals and other substances that are good conductors will be resistant to penetration by or will stop radio waves. The frequency of the electromagnetic radiation will have something to do with what it will "go through" to allow it to be "connected" to a receiver.There is one thing to remember in parting: electromagnetic radiation does not need a medium through which to travel. It carries the energy of the radiation "with it" when it goes. That allows this form of energy to move through the vacuum of space. Compare this to something like a sound wave, which is mechanical energy. With waves that are mechanical energy, the medium through which the wave moves must carry the energy of that wave. Said another way, the source of the mechanical energy must put its energy into the medium for that medium to propagate the wave.
What is the fastest moving earthquake wave?
The P-wave which is a form of body wave known as a compression or longitudinal wave.
What are wave length and wave height?
Wave length, also known as cycle and period, is the difference in magnitude from one point on a wave to the corresponding point on an adjacent wave as measured along, and defined by, the x-axis of the graphed wave forms. Wave height, also known as magnitude, is the distance above or below the x-axis as measured along, and defined by, the y-axis of the graphed wave forms.
Who were the three scientists that discovered the wave mechanical model?
Erwin Schrodinger
Why did scientists develop wave mechanical model?
This is completely TRUE i am writing this to help students because everyone writes bull answers .... the answer is the creator of the wave mechanical model was Dalton in 1803, Thomson in 1897, Rutherford in 1909 and Bohr in 1913. thank you for reading my correct answer the reference is by the book chemistry the physical setting 2006 edition. your welcome.
Who proposed the wave mechanical model?
Erwin Schrödinger
Wave mechanical model of the atom?
mass number and atomic number of an atom
Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
Wave mechanical model?
the waves produced by an electron confined in its orbit about the nucleus sets up a "standing wave",( a specific number of "bounces" each second), of specific wavelength, energy and frequency (i.e., Bohr's energy levels) like a rubber band when stretched and released.
Was the Kashmir earthquake caused by a mechanical wave or electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave.
The wave-mechanical model of the atom is required to explain the?
spectra of elements with multi-electron atoms
In the wave - mechanical model of the atom orbitals are regions of the most probable locations of?
Electrons
Is an ocean wave mechanical wave?
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
is An electromagnetic wave is a mechanical wave/true or false?
True, because mechanical waves require a medium for propagation.
Which of the following is not a mechanical wave' a transverse a longitudinal or a electromagnetic?
An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave.
