Question
Chapter 5, Problem 1Q
To determine
Is light is a wave or a particle.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1Q
The light is behave as both particle and wave nature.
Explanation of Solution
Experimental evidence shows that light can acts as both a wave and a particle that means dual nature of light. The theory evolved from
Experiments such as young’s double slit interference and the Michelson interferometer shows that light can acts as a wave.
Experiments such as Einstein
Conclusion:
Therefore, the light is behave as both particle and wave nature.

Your apparent weight on a scale standing at the equator will be less than your apparent weight while standing on a scale at the North Pole (see figure).

- A standing wave can be created when a disturbance (wave) is trapped between two boundaries. Thus, standing sound wave can be produced when gas is confined in long narrow tube closed at both ends. In addition, standing waves can be produced in tubes with an opening at one end of the tube as well (open-closed tube). The eardrum can be modeled as an open-closed tube. The ear canal in adults is about 2.5 cm in length. Thus, what frequency ranges can occur in the ear canal that are within the range of human hearing? In other words, what is the fundamental frequency of the ear canal? The speed of sound in the warm air of the ear canal is 350 m/s. Hint: Wavelength of standing waves in open-closed tubes are given by the following: λ = 4L where m = 1,3,5,7 marrow_forwardA cardiologist reports to her patient that he radius of the left anterior descending artery of the heart has narrowed by 10.0%. What is the percent increase in the blood pressure drop across the artery that is required to maintain the normal blood flow through artery? Hint: To main normal blood flow, the blood volume flow rate must remain the same (Qnormal = Qdecreased). Poiseuille's Law gives the equation for volume flow rate of a viscous fluid. Please review Chapter 11 and continuity equation.arrow_forwardThe heart pumps blood into the aorta, which has an inner radius of 1.0 cm. The aorta feeds 32 major arteries. If the blood in the aorta travels at a speed of 28 cm/s, at approximately what average speed in units of m/s does it travel in the arteries? Assume that blood can be treated as an ideal fluid and that the arteries each have an inner radius of 0.21 cm.arrow_forward
