dual nature of electromagnetic radiation

Light has been regarded as waves to explain the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction etc. However in 1905, Albert Einstein suggested that light has a dual character, which means, it can behave as a particle as well as a wave. It was observed that some of the experimental..

Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation - Light has been regarded as waves to explain the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction etc. However in 1905, Albert Einstein suggested that light has a dual character, which means, it can behave as a particle as..

When light of sufficiently small wavelength is incident on a metal surface, electrons are ejected from the metal. This phenomenon is called as 'photoelectric effect' and the ejected electrons are called as 'photoelectrons..

>Similar to light, matter also manifests itself in the form of particles as well as waves. Compton effect, and Davison and Germer's experiment stand as evidence for dual nature of matter. If an electron acts as a wave, its wavelength is calculated to be Davison and Germer showed..

Electromagnetic Radiation and Energy(Planck's quantum theory) - In 1900, Max Planck presented the results of his famous black body radiation experiments, which showed that light has a dual character, behaving like a particle as well as a wave. He gave the Qua..

In 1856, James Clark Maxwell proposed that light and other forms of radiant energy propagate themselves in the form of waves, through space. These waves have electric and magnetic fields associated with them and are called electromagnetic waves or electromagnetic radiationh..

Discovery of Radioactivity and Nature of Radiations - In 1896, the phenomenon of radioactivity was accidentally discovered by French scientist Henri Becquerel. He was performing experiments with uranium compounds. He accidentally placed a crystal of potassium uranyl sulphate ove..
