Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter – Important Topics

The matter is characterized by properties such as velocity, size, mass, etc., whereas waves are characterized by properties such as wavelength, wave velocity, etc. The term wave-particle duality or the idea of the dual nature of radiation and matter refers to the manner in which a particle behaves like a wave or vice versa under […]

Dual nature of radiation and matter

The dual nature of matter and the dual nature of radiation were revolutionary physics notions. Scientists discovered one of nature’s best-kept secrets around the turn of the twentieth century: wave particle duality, or the dual nature of matter and radiation. Everything is a wave and a particle at the same time. The Dual Nature of

Dual nature of radiation

Introduction There are certain phenomena like interference, diffraction, polarization, reflection, refraction, etc which require a wave theory for their interpretation. Thus they hint at the wave nature of radiation. There are certain phenomena such as photoelectric effect, Compton effect, discrete emission, and absorption, etc. Which require a particle nature for their interpretation. Thus they hint

Dual nature of matter and radiation

The radiation of light shows a dual nature that is wave and particle. Phenomenon like diffraction, interference and polarization can be explained on the basis of wave nature of light whereas phenomenon as like Photoelectric effect, Compton effect etc. can be explained only in terms of quantum theory of light. (Quantum theory of light states that

Dual nature of matter

Explanation of the Dual Nature of Matter The concepts of waves and matter are well-known to us. Anything that has a definite mass and occupies a definite space is a matter and those that carry energy in them without the localization of time and space are called waves. Both are capable of carrying momentum and

Continuous x-ray spectrum

X-rays have changed modern medicine since their discovery in 1901. For his discovery of electromagnetic radiation, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, a German physicist, was even awarded the Nobel Prize. An X-ray is a painless, quick examination that produces photographs of the insides of your body, particularly your bones. X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation that

Communication Systems and Modulation

Communication System A communication system is a method of communication collaboration between different units, a transmitter and a receiver. Signals go across a route from the transmitter to the receiver. It reflects the signal’s utilisation to travel from an origin to the destination.  Communication refers to the process of transmitting data between two sites. The

Characteristic of X-Rays

Introduction X-Ray is also termed as the Roentgen radiation. X-Ray is defined as an electromagnetic radiation having the energy ranges from 124 eV to 124 keV. But, a wave with such energy can easily travel from transparent object to opaque object. X-rays were discovered accidentally in 1895 by a German scientist Roentgen. Roentgen was awarded

BlackBody Radiation

At temperatures above absolute zero, all normal matter generates electromagnetic radiation, which is referred to as thermal radiation because it represents a conversion of a body’s internal thermal energy into electromagnetic energy. Normal matter, on the other hand, absorbs electromagnetic radiation to some extent. A blackbody is an object that absorbs ALL radiation falling on

Basic Elements of Communication Systems (Block Diagrams)

Communication is the act of transmission of information. Every living creature within the world experiences the necessity to impart or receive information virtually unceasingly with alternatives in the close world. For communication to be successful, the sender and receiver must perceive a standard language. Man has perpetually created endeavours to enhance communication with other human
