Interpretation:
Dual nature of light needs to be compared.
Concept introduction:
Light have particle as well as wave nature.
The similar duality must be true for matter. Thus an electron, behaves both as a material particle and as a wave.
According to de − Broglie, the wavelength of a particle with mass m is related to its velocity as follows:
Here, h is Planck’s constant, m is mass and v is velocity.
Answer to Problem 8SSC
Black body radiation and
Interference and diffraction explain wave nature of light
Explanation of Solution
Particle Nature of Light | Wave Nature of Light | |
1 | Black body radiation and photoelectric effect explain the particle nature of light Black body: When a black body absorbs or emits radiation then this absorption is not continuous but it is as small discrete energy packets which is quantum. | Interference and diffraction explain wave nature of light |
