    (Taripe) Module 9-10 Activity Physical Science

    Uploaded by

    Allan Taripe
    The document discusses the nature of light and wave-particle duality. It addresses evidence that light behaves as both a particle and wave, such as light transferring energy in quanta like particles but also exhibiting interference patterns like waves. The double slit experiment is described where light passing through two slits interferes and forms fringes on a screen, but particles would hit randomly. With quantum objects, the wave function collapses into a particle when detected. Increasing the number of slits in an experiment produces more complex interference patterns due to the waves spreading out.

    Nature of Light
    Module 9: Activity 1.2 Guide Questions
    Directions: Answer briefly and concisely the following questions.
    PART A: Nature of light
    1. How did Newton view about the nature of light?
    - Based on the video, Newton claimed that light, which he called corpuscles, is made up of small,
    atom-like particles. He was able to explain certain properties of light using this theory. For
    example, refraction, which is how a beam of light appears to bend as it passes from air into water.
    2. What particular evidence shows that light is a particle?
    - Scientists conducted experiments in the 20th century that appeared to demonstrate light
    behaving like a particle. For example, when you shine light on a metal, in discrete packets
    called quanta, the light transfers its energy to the atoms in the metal. But, we can't just forget
    about interference properties, either. So these amounts of light are not at all like the small, hard
    spheres pictured by Newton. This effect that light sometimes acts like a particle and sometimes
    acts like a wave, led to a new groundbreaking theory of physics called quantum mechanics.
    3. What particular evidence show that light is a wave?
    - Light makes interference patterns. These patterns are the complicated undulations that
    happen when two wave patterns occupy the same space. They can be seen when two objects
    disturb the surface of a still pond, and also when two point-like sources of light are placed near
    each other. Only waves make interference patterns, particles don't.
    - In addition to that, Thomas Young a physicist in England, performed an experiment in 1801 that
    showed that light behaves as a wave. He passed a beam of light through two thin, parallel slits.
    Alternating bright and dark bands appeared on a white screen some distance from the slit.
    4-5. is light a particle or a wave?
    - Light behaves sometimes like a particle and other times it behaves like a wave, but it isn't
    exactly like either.
    Wave Particle Duality
    Activity 1.2 Guide Questions
    Directions: Answer briefly and concisely the following questions.
    PART B: Wave Particle Duality
    6 -8. Describe how the following behave as they enter the two slits:
    A. Particle - The particles touch the screen randomly
    B. Wave - A wave is sent on two slits which make it interfere. This results in fringes on the screen
    C. Quantum objects - The wave suddenly reduces into a particle when touching the screen, and more
    likely at the positions where the wave was more intense.

    9. What do you think will happen if an observer modifies the experiment?


    - If an observer measures through which slit the wave goes, then the wave reduces and
    goes only through one of the two slits now. No interference can occur anymore. So no
    fringes appear on the screen. The observer has modified the experiment
    10. Briefly explain the Wave-Particle Duality Theory.
    - In physics and chemistry, wave-particle duality holds that light and matter exhibit properties of
    both waves and of particles.
    A central concept of quantum mechanics, duality addresses the inadequacy of conventional
    concepts like "particle" and "wave" to meaningfully describe the behavior of quantum objects.
