i though i understod light, but this is wird, maybe
i forget the explanation, her it comes our eyes can detect light EM in the visible spectrum, say lambda 700nm to 400nm, which is very nice wait a minute, lets an object be only visible outside the visible spectrum, say UV eller IR, so we cant see it wait a while, we make it simple, suppose that this object lay on your table, you cant see it so it is invisible, do not confuse, it is not transparent, because if it were then you could see it, you don see anything on your table, your table seems empty now, if you drag your hand on your table will you sense it, will you touch and detect its shape? would this invisible object be existing? you cannot say that light is wave and/or particle light is much more than that |

The Nobel Committee says that Einstein had found that the energy exchange between matter and ether occurs by atoms emitting or absorbing a quantum of energy,hv . As a consequence of the new concept of light quanta (in modern terminology photons) Einstein proposed the law that an electron emitted from a substance by monochromatic light with the frequency has to have a maximum energy of E=hv-p, where p is the energy needed to remove the electron from the substance. Robert Andrews Millikan carried out a series of measurements over a period of 10 years, finally confirming the validity of this law in 1916 with great accuracy. Millikan had, however, found the idea of light quanta to be unfamiliar and strange. The Nobel Committee avoids committing itself to the particle concept. Light-quanta or with modern terminology, photons, were explicitly mentioned in the reports on which the prize decision rested only in connection with emission and absorption processes. The Committee says that the most important application of Einstein's photoelectric law and also its most convincing confirmation has come from the use Bohr made of it in his theory of atoms, which explains a vast amount of spectroscopic data. http://nobelprize.org/physics/articl...ong/index.html http://nobelprize.org/physics/laurea...n-lecture.html Sue... |

Dear Mucho Grande:

Amazing how you take the word of some crap on the internet and reject the wonderful wisdom of the genius Einstein, ****head. |
