What observation about light supported Einstein's theory?

1 answer:

5 0

In 1905 Albert Einstein had proposed a solution to the problem of observations made on the behaviour of light having characteristics of both wave and particle theory. From work of Plank on emission of light from hot bodies, Einstein suggested that light is composed of tiny particles called <span>photons, </span>and each photon has energy.

Light theory branches in to the physics of <span>quantum mechanics, </span>which was conceptualised in the twentieth century. Quantum mechanics deals with behaviour of nature on the atomic scale or smaller.

As a result of quantum mechanics, this gave the proof of the dual nature of light and therefore not a contradiction.

The men's world record for swimming 1500 m in a long course pool is 14 min 34.56 s. At this rate how many seconds would it take

vlabodo [156]

Distance = 1500m, time = 14min 34.56s = 14*60 + 34.56 = 874.56s

Speed = Distance / time = 1500/874.56 = 1.715 m/s

In order to swim 0.7 miles, 1 mile = 1609.344 m

Time = Distance / speed = 1609.344 m / 1.715 m/s = 938.393 seconds

938/60 = 15 minutes, 38 seconds.

= 15 minutes 38.393 seconds.

Can you separate cooking oil from a mixture of cooking oil and water by filtering

slega [8]

Yes, they can be separated by using a funnel. In the separating funnel, they are kept for resting. After they are separated they are filtered one by one.
