What is light made of?
Light is made up of particles called photons, which have properties of both particles and waves. Photons have no mass and travel at the speed of light. When light interacts with matter, it can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted.
What is average kinetic energy of the particles of matter in a given space?
The average kinetic energy of particles in matter is directly related to the temperature of that matter. As temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of particles also increases. This energy is due to the random motion of particles within the substance.
Are particles big?
This completely depends on the matter you are referring to. If you are talking about sub atomic particles that no, they are minute. But you can also have a particle of dust which, yes, is big compared to some other particles.
How do you know electrons are particles?
Electrons are known to be particles because they have mass and interact with matter as particles do. However, they are also waves and interact as waves do. This causes confusion for many people.
Tiny particles in motion make up all matter?
All matter is made up of 'atoms', which are generally treated as tiny particles, although they have been shown to also have the properties of waves (just like light has both particle and wave nature). They are constantly in motion, and move faster in matter at a higher temperature. The temperature at which this motion is zero is -273C or 0K, absolute zero and is impossible to achieve.
Why are photons not like ordinary particles of matter?
Photons are massless particles that do not experience gravitational forces, unlike ordinary particles of matter. They also do not have rest mass and always travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. Additionally, photons do not have electric charge, which distinguishes them from most ordinary particles of matter.
What do neutrons consist of?
Neutrons consist of small particles, called "Quarks". Protons also consist of quarks, but what quarks is made of, is still not discovered.
Is Light has many of the properties of waves but light can also act as though it is a stream of?
... particles.... particles.... particles.... particles.
What are the smallest particles of matter called, also known as atomies?
The smallest particles of matter are called atoms.
What is light made of?
Light is made up of particles called photons, which have properties of both particles and waves. Photons have no mass and travel at the speed of light. When light interacts with matter, it can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted.
Light is made of what kind of particles?
You cannot classify the phase of matter of light. The particles of light are much different than the particles of ordinary matter. At a large level, if we take the measurements, the light is a transverse wave carried by disturbances in an electric field and a magnetic field, each in perpendicular oscillations to each other, and each perpendicular to the travel of the wave. At the smallest level possible, there is a smallest piece of which you could call light. These are called photons. They are also the force carrier particles of electric and magnetic forces. These particles have zero rest mass, but they have an effective mass when in motion at the speed of light
Why the light is not matter?
Light is not gas, liquid, solid or plasma. It also can pass through a vacuum and a clear solid. answer2: A rocket can pass through a vacuum and a bullet can pass through a clear solid. Light is like a little,little bullet of matter. Light is energy and energy is mc2 and m is the matter.
What does light travel in?
The simplest answer is that light consists of particles with wave properties. Elementary particles also have wave properties. This is how light travels.
The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on what?
The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on their mass and temperature. The kinetic theory states that particles in matter are always in motion.
Is a light is a matter?
It is usually considered energy, but it is also made up of particles called photons. Although these photon are particles, their mass is zero. It has been experimentally determined that the mass MUST be less than 10^-51 gm. Since photon have no mass, they cannot be considered matter.
What is average kinetic energy of the particles of matter in a given space?
The average kinetic energy of particles in matter is directly related to the temperature of that matter. As temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of particles also increases. This energy is due to the random motion of particles within the substance.
Why do charged particles not penetrate matter?
Charged particles are going to have a strong electromagnetic interaction with any matter that they encounter, since matter is also contains lots of charged particles. In effect, matter will present a great deal of solidity or substance to charged particles.
