Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this ... More 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit ...

Quantum measurement is the one thing that sets quantum behavior apart from water waves, making quantum physics truly strange. To appreciate how unusual quantum measurement is, imagine someone ...

Types of Waves: In Physics, waves are a fundamental phenomena that describes the transmission of energy and information through a medium of an empty space. These waves are characterised by their ...

Gravitational waves, the booming echoes of massive objects ... they can be thought of as a physics experiment,” he says. “But as soon they detect a single source, they will be thought of ...

On October 3, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded physicists Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Barry Barish the Nobel Prize in physics for directly detecting gravitational waves—wrinkles ...

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini shows us how we know that light exists as a wave and why that's really cool! The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many ...

These flashcards are suitable for GCSE physics students studying any awarding body specification and cover topics such as properties of waves, transverse and longitudinal waves, reflection and ...

Three physicists — Barry Barish, Kip Thorne, and Rainer Weiss — received the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for their “decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational ...
