i do not believe that there is an answer, though i wish to be sure weather or not there are any semi-valid atleast theories on the reason for the wavelike properties exhibited in matter, and why they become more prevalent as the matter is of more concentrated energy (in photon for example...
This is quite homework but i did think about it whilst at school and i wasnt sure where to post it.
In the entire electromagnetic spectrum our eyes can only view the visible wavelengths of photons.
My teacher said this and it lead me to think why this is so.
I've breifly looked on the...
the source of all electromagnetic radiation is the acceleration or deceleration of charged particles, mostly electrons….only when an electron jumps down energy levels, a photon/ electromagnetic wave is emitted…sounds contradicting to me, how can be both correct?
Hope question isn’t too silly.
Hi everyone:) I recently began doing some independent studies on electrical engineering, and came across the topic of radios. There was one thing that puzzled me, however. I thought I had a basic understanding of electromagnetic radiation. I had understood that it was a wave that propagated...
Please help me answer these questions~~~thank you~~
In October, 2004, the Canadian Light Source (CLS) was officially opened. This device is a synchrotron. It produces electromagnetic radiation that can be used to probe the structure of materials.

Hi,
I'm looking into electromagnetic radiation at the moment and something has just entered my head. If its true that an electron will not radiate unless its velocity changes with time then could this property be used to determine absolute rest. That is, how can we know that if something is...
A celebrity holds a press conference, which is televised live. A television viewer hears the sound picked up by a microphone directly in front of the celebrity. This viewer is seated 2.1 m from the television set. A reporter at the press conference is located 4.1 m from the microphone and hears...
Please help uncloud my understanding
#1.Why does the Earth cool off much more quickly when the weather is clear than cloudy?
My foggy understanding: The cloud cover “traps” the heat energy radiated from the Earth because water has a high heat capacity, and so takes a longer time to heat up...

Calculate the longest wavelength of electromagnetic radiation that could ionize an atom of each of the following elements:
a) Li; IE1=520.1 kJ/mol
can some one tell me the steps to do this problem.
thanks
I need help with the following questions.
1.A microwave oven produces electromagnetic radiation at lambda = 12.3cm and produces a power of 764W. Calculate the number of microwave photons produced by the microwave oven each second.
2.Compton used photons of wavelength 71.3 pm. (a)...
