The Compton scattering effect (1923) seems to be the main evidence that light has a particle-like behavior. What are the other effects that indicate that light has a particle-like behavior?
If there are no other effects that indicate that light has a particle-like behavior, and if we find an...
I have a real confusion in understanding what they mean by wave nature of light. I have seen waves in amplitutde Vs time curves, ripples in ponds or the wave generated in a rope by shaking one of its end. How do I Imagine the motion of light in space?
Does the amplitude/Intensity of the...
Hello. Is it possible that light speed is the maximum speed because of a property of space time and not that of light? I.e. light can go the maximum speed in the universe as we know it but the maximum speed is not determined by light itself but by the nature of the fabric of space time: light...
Hi!
In terms of magnesium fluoride what is the minimum thickness of mag fl coating that must be applied to a glass lens to make it non-reflecting for that wavelength? (the index of refraction of magnesium fluoride is intermediate to that of air and glass)
1/2 wavelength out of phase to...
[SOLVED] On The Nature Of Light
The decision to define a photon as a sub-atomic particle is a difficult one to understand. According to the existing theory there is a different photon for every frequency in the whole of the electro-magnetic spectrum and for every possible combination of...
Hello,
A monochromatic light is incident on a Youngs double spilt setup that has a slit separation of 30um. the resultant bridge fringe separation if 2.15cm on a 1.2 m from the double slit. what is the separation between the 3rd order bright fringe and the 0th order bright fringe?
I know...
Hello,
In a double slit experiment the slit separation is 2.0mm and two wavelengths 750nm and 900nm illuminate the slits. A screen placed 2m from the slits. at what distance from the central maximum on the screen will a bright fringe from one pattern first conincide with a bright fringe from...
