How sunlight reaches the earth?  |
|
Due to nuclear fusion reaction large amount of energy is emitted from the sun and it is the only source for the living organisms on the earth. I learn from my book that light shows wave nature and also particle nature depend on the energy. I am really confused how the light travel in space because there is no medium(vacuum) in space. What is light? Is there is any medium for the transfer of light? Is light is a particle? Is light is a wave? Is light can carry energy?

1. Binthu (2867) | 3 weeks ago | Hi Prakash,
Appreciating your good interest to know more about the sunlight and the property. As you have knew that large amount of energy would emitted from the Sun by the nuclear fusion and the emitted energy has high power and can reach to the earth through the space, because space contains lots of air and the air act as a medium of transfer from the sun to the earth. From this energy so many organisms including the living animals and living plants would gets the energy in order to survive and have the life in this earth.
Have a nice day.

2. manong05 (2932) | 3 weeks ago | Particle-wave dualism is one of the popular antinomies of science. Antinomies are seeming contradictions between two equally valid principles or from inferences derived from these principles. That light is a particle can be proven scientifically the same way with light being wave but waves are not particles but forms of energy. Yes, light travels in space and there is a precise formula, discussion of which is outside the scope of this limited space.
Interesting topic.

4. kush20006 (338) | 3 weeks ago | light is a emission of energy and if we can see it we termed it as visible light but light has ultraviolet as well as infrared region so these region of light are not visible to us light is not medium specific it even travels through air water as well as vaccum it has wave as well as particle nature it has electric field and magnetic field perpendicular to each other it can be transformed into electrical energy using solar cell
