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 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..

Fig: 3.8 - Electromagnetic spectrum It is interesting to note that visible light, which the human eye detects, constitutes only a small portion of the total electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum is shown separately. Violet colour has a radiation of minimum wav..

Electromagnetic Nature of Light - 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..

The radiant energy from the sun is the basic requirement for the existence of life on the earth. It affects both plants as well as animals greatly. It can be measured by a photometer..

>Three types of radiation from recognized radioactive elements are a -particles, b -particles and g -radiation. It was realized that radioactivity of an element is independent of its physical state, its chemical environment or temperature, suggesting that it is a property of the..

Introduction - We have seen in the previous lesson that a current carrying conductor when kept in a magnetic field experiences forces and torques. Is reverse phenomenon possible? If we rotate the coil in a magnetic field, will current flow in the coil without we passing it? The answer is yes. Curre..

The important differences between electromagnetic waves and matter waves are given below: Electromagnetic waves Matter waves Electromagnetic are associated with electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation ..
