... Photons act as both a wave and a particle all the time (even though it’s common, but basically incorrect, to say that it’s “sometimes a wave and sometimes a particle” depending upon which features are more obvious at a given time). Photons are emitted in many natural processes such as when a charge ...

According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, the speed of light is maximum speed that can be attained by a particle in nature i.e. the speed of material particle (v) is always less than the speed of light c. Accordingly equation (2) implies that the de Broglie wave velocity must be greater than c. ...

The Compton shift, Dl , has a clear angular dependence, but does not depend on the material used for the scatterer. This suggests that the photons are col ...

... A metal sphere has a capacitance that describes its capacity to hold charge. This is determined by electrostatics (Coulomb/ Gauss law), and thus depends only on the geometry (eg. radius) CE = 4pe0R, with single electron charging energy U0 = q2/CE What we will see in this chapter is that quantum mech ...
