dual nature of radiations

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..

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..

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..

In astronomy, the low temperature microwave radiation that arrives at the earth's surface from all directions of outer space is called background radiation. It is so named because it forms a background to all the radio sources that have been detected by radio telescopes. Cosmic ..

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 Quantum Theory of Radiation explaining electromagnetic radiation..
