Who provided the basic theory about the nature of matter?

John Dalton provided the basic theory about the nature of matter.


Is a law a proven theory?

No. A law is a description of an observed pattern in the universe. A theory is a model that explains observations. E.g. atomic theory explains many of the things that matter does. There will not be a time in the future when we will call it "atomic law" because the model of atoms is concerned with explaining the behavior of matter, not describing it.


What does not support the wave nature of light?

The photoelectric effect does not support the wave nature of light. This phenomenon can only be explained by the particle nature of light, as described by Albert Einstein in his theory of photons.


Is Compton effect support the wave theory of light or particle theory?

The Compton effect supports the particle theory of light, as it demonstrates that photons (particles of light) can interact with matter like particles and exhibit particle-like behavior by transferring momentum to electrons during scattering. This is not consistent with the wave theory of light, which views light as a continuous wave rather than individual particles.


Why a theory cannot become a law?

A theory and a law serve different purposes in science. A theory explains why something happens based on evidence and research, while a law describes a phenomenon or pattern observed in nature without necessarily explaining why it occurs. Therefore, a theory cannot "become" a law because they are fundamentally different in terms of their function and scope.

What do you know about corpuscular nature of matter?

The corpuscular nature of matter refers to the concept that matter is made up of tiny particles known as corpuscles or atoms. This theory helped pave the way for the development of modern atomic theory, which states that all matter is composed of small, indivisible particles. The idea of the corpuscular nature of matter was popularized by scientists like Democritus and John Dalton.


Who proposed the first useful theory of nature and properties of matter?

It was either Terrence Ahlin or Einstein. I think.

How might evolution theory account for this phenomenon?

Evolutionary theory can account for the phenomenon of a new species. This is because different species can evolve from a common ancestor.
