Question

how can i compare the dual nature of light

how can i describe the phenomena that can be explained only by the particle model of light.

how can i empoly the quantum theory to assess the amount of energy that matter gains and loses

how did Einstein utilize Plancks quantum comcept to explain the photoelectric effect

Answer 1

I assume this is an assignment in which the material is available in your text. If not I can find look for some sites on the Internet to get you started.

Answer 2

no they are not in my text

Answer 3

can you please help me find sites on the internet?

Answer 4

Here is some information on the photoelectric effect. You need to tell us what you don't understand about your assignment. We help do homework be we don't do it.

Answer 5

i don't understand how to compare the dual nature of light. i don't know what that means

Answer 6

The question speaks to the so-called duality of light. There are some aspects of light that can be explained only if we think of light as being a wave (reflection for example or light passing through a prism or grating to produce the rainbow of colors) and other aspects of light that can be explained as if light was a particle. Here is a site that gives you a good start. If it is too advanced for you I can try another. Or you can go to www.google.com and type in "dual nature light" without the parentheses. You will get a number of sites that will come up. Click on each and see how they look. I would think that you can pick one property of light that is explained by the wave nature and another that is explained by the particle nature and that would be a comparison.
