Well? How can the two quantities be related? The frequency of the oscillating atoms in the light emitter(the radiant body) would be a quantity that would relate more with the mechanical aspect of the body, that could be the thermal energy possessed by the body. Oscillating atoms are actually...

Hey Tim Thanks for that. Clears basic things up. So exactly when in general does light show this particle-like behavior? I mean, what circumstances compel light to show it's particle-like characteristics?

Hello We all see this statement everywhere : "Planck's quantum theory states that the radiant energy emitted or absorbed by a body is in the form of discreet packets of energy called Quanta, and the energy of the quantum depends on the frequency by the formula E = hv" Now, my question is...

Hello. According to me, and a little bit of searching on the topic, Work in physics generally refers to Mechanical Work, which can be defined as the energy transferred by a force to the system, when the force moves the system through a distance. A generalization of this Mechanical work is the...
