Jaiko, here's something to think about next time you have some spare thinking time (ie: you're on the john.): Why do people want to go on thrill rides? Is it because they are looking for an adrenaline rush? Or is it because they are looking to break free of their fears? _______________ Stimpski (formerly known as DeathScythe many, many moons ago.)

Ok im sorry that my little history lesson didnt quite get the answer youve been looking for, so ill answer in a little more detail It can’t be both because the models of waves and particles are very different. The way they behave when traveling and when passing through mediums is very different. It seems that your conclusion depends on what type of experiment you are doing. In 1905, Einstein said that a ray of light travels in the path of the photon. The traveling photons are in great number and travel in straight lines. To understand the nature of light, and how it is normally created, it is necessary to study matter at its atomic level. The motion of electrons, leads to the emission of light in most sources. The first successful theory of light wave motion in three dimensions was proposed by the Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens in 1678. Huygens suggested that light wave peaks form surfaces like the layers of an onion. In a vacuum, or a uniform material, the surfaces are spherical. These wave surfaces advance, or spread out, through space at the speed of light. Huygens also suggested that each point on a wave surface can act like a new source of smaller spherical waves, which may be called wavelets, that are in step with the wave at that point. The envelope of all the wavelets is a wave surface. An envelope is a curve or surface that touches a whole family of other curves or surfaces like the wavelets. This construction explains how light seems to spread away from a pinhole rather than going in one straight line through the hole. The same effect blurs the edges of shadows. Huygens's principle, with minor modifications, accurately describes all forms of wave motion. There is also a theory which light is said to travel in both a wavelike manner and a particle-like manner. This is called the wave-particle duality and was proposed in 1924 by de Broglie, who also developed the idea of the “matter wave” which is a basic part of the wave-particle duality theory. The wave-particle duality theory says that photons do have a mass and travel along on a wave. This was a combination of the wave and particle theories of light and now is the generally accepted explanation of the way light travels. Heisenberg showed that the wave-particle duality leads to the uncertainty principle. The uncertainty principle states that the position and velocity of a particle cannot simultaneously be measured with exactness (This also explains why teleportation isnt possible, w000t Heisenberh Compensat0r!!!!!). This principle is valid because a particle has certain wave properties. The wave-particle duality theory made since after Einstein connected matter and energy. Einstein taught us that matter is just another form of very, very condensed energy. Albert Einstein's theory into the equivalence of matter and energy, expressed as the famous equation: E=mc^2, has been confirmed countless times. At the time, it was much easier to demonstrate light as a wave. The process also occurs naturally when a star shines because the atoms in its core fuse, transforming a very small sliver of matter into light. And when particles of matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other in a burst of energy. But like any equation, E=mc^2 works both ways. Meaning that it should be possible to convert massive amounts of energy into small amounts of matter. A team of physicists has now transformed light into matter. “We're able to turn optical photons into matter,” says Princeton physicist Kirk McDonald, leader of the team. And physicists who smash atoms together have witnessed the conversion of energy into matter in virtual photons that flit in and out of existence just long enough to spawn the particles of exotic matter which can be observed in particle accelerators. But the photons formed like this are not under the direct control of physicists. The photons arise as part of a complex chain of events starting with just a collision of two particles of matter. Until now, no one had directly created matter from light. The key piece was a laser capable of packing a tremendous amount of energy into a small space. By focusing this pulse on an area of just 16-millionths of a square inch, the physicists bathe a spot with an incredibly intense electromagnetic field. But even with this crowd of high-power photons squeezed together, the energy is still only about a millionth of what's needed to make matter. The problem is that the laser's greenlight photons don’t provide enough force. Photons, which are massless, can sometimes siphon off part of the energy of a high-speed particle with mass. This occurs because the total energy of the particle, which includes its mass, may exceed that of the photon. The point of trying to make matter by combining energy in the form of photons is to prove that the light traveling as photons have a “mass”. Even though the mass is very small, it was made by just light. I hope this gives you a little more incite Take Care -JaikoD'Kana- _______________ The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.

Thanks for the historical analysis Jaiko, but you didn't actually answer my question Q1: Is light both a wave and a particle? if so why? Q2: Is it one or the other? If so why? |

HEHE a hard question, you guys always try to catch me out....well heer goes Light can be described as both a wave and a particle...... some time in the 17th century, a bunch of eople said that light was a series of little particles. Each particle existed at a single point in space. Other people imagined light as a travelling wave. Waves spread out through a large region of space. Scientists arguing for a theory needed to explain the known behaviour of light, including its motion, reflection, and refraction. Proponents of the wave theory emphasised the crossing of two beams of light. One wave could easily cross over another wave. However, if light was made of particles, surely particles from one beam would crash into particles from the other. This was countered by arguing that the particles were so spread out that they hardly ever bumped into each other. Advocates of the particle theory emphasised double refraction, where a crystal splits a beam of light into two beams. This showed that light has some kind of 'sideways' property. Sound waves do not have any sideways properties so it was thought that neither could light waves. Particles, however, could easily be imagined to have 'sides'. Even more embarrassing for wave theorists was their inability to explain how light travelled in straight lines! These difficulties caused opinion to swing towards the particle theory throughout the 18th century. In the 19th century, however, this changed due to the discovery and explanation of a new phenomenon—interference _______________ The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.

Becuase the memory is volatile, similar to the RAM of a computer one power is tken away all memory is lost, starting the alarm time to 00:00 and the actual time to 00:00 Assuming its digital Becuase that is psycological, Banks at the end of the day are businesses, ones that make money out of investing your money. By leaving 2 doors open you areinviting your customer in, like any supermarket or store. The Chained pens....is so they dont loose revnue through such simple losses. CUSTOMERS PINCH PENS!!!!

Why is an alarm clock going "off" when it actually turns on?... now thats gotta be hard to answer! Hmm Why do banks leave both doors open, yet they chain pens to the countertops? Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them? I'll have more questions soon!! _______________ Axion - Yeah. |
