Question
Chapter 38, Problem 3A
To determine
The name of the quantum of the light.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The smallest unit to explain a physical quantity is called the quantum of that unit.
The quantum of the light is called photon. It is the fundamental unit to explain the energy of the light.
Conclusion:
The quantum of the light is photon because it describes the nature of the light.

- You are tasked with designing a parallel-plate capacitor using two square metal plates, eachwith an area of 0.5 m², separated by a 0.1 mm thick layer of air. However, to increase the capacitance,you decide to insert a dielectric material with a dielectric constant κ = 3.0 between the plates. Describewhat happens (and why) to the E field between the plates when the dielectric is added in place of theair.arrow_forwardCalculate the work required to assemble a uniform charge Q on a thin spherical shell of radiusR.
