dual nature of matter and light

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 beh..

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..

The Photoelectric Effect - 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..

>This is called as dual nature of mater. The radiation has a dual aspect behaving either as waves or as particles (waves when it interferes, diffracts and particles in a photocell). Einstein showed that a particle having a finite mass has been supposed to be associated..

Light is a form of energy produced by luminous objects. Light can travel through vacuum. Light can penetrate through transparent materials but cannot pass through opaque objects. Light travels in a straight line in an optically homogeneous medium. ..
