Explain the wave-particle duality of light. (b) A particle of wavelength 4.2x 10\(^{-11}\)m travels (a) With a momentum of 1.6 x 10\(^{-23}\) kg m/s,
Determine the value of the Planck's constant, h.
Explanation
(a) Explanation of wave-particle duality of light: Light can act as a particle (by way of Photon) and also simultaneously).
(b) Determination of Planck's Constant
h = π P = 4.2 x 10\(^{-11}\) x 1.6 x 10\(^{-23}\) as waves
= 6.72 x 10\(^{-34}\) JS
