5 Questions
Who were some of the European physicists involved in the development of quantum theory between 1900 and 1930?
Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Louis de Broglie, Max Born, Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, Wolfgang Pauli, Erwin Schrodinger, Richard Feynman
What theory did Newton come up with in the 17th Century regarding light?
Newton proposed that light is made of particles, with each particle consisting of a particular color of the spectrum.
Who believed that light consisted of waves rather than particles during the 18th Century?
A few scientists, such as Robert Hooke, Christian Huygens, and Leonhard Euler, believed that light consisted of waves rather than particles.
What experiment did Thomas Young conduct in 1803, and what did it demonstrate about light?
Thomas Young conducted the double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that the interference patterns produced were the same as those produced by waves on water, leading to the acceptance that light was made of waves rather than particles.
What significant paper did Einstein produce in 1905 regarding light?
Einstein produced a paper on the photoelectric effect, which contributed to the understanding of light as both a particle and a wave.
