Com Padre Digital Library: Open Source Physics: Blackbody Radiation: Frequency
Simulation of the blackbody radiation curves of Planck demonstrating the effect of changing the frequency or the wavelength.
Georgia State University
Georgia State University: Hyper Physics: Wave Particle Duality
The dualistic nature of light is discussed. The photoelectric effect and the Davisson-Germer experiment are contrasted as empirical evidence supporting each of the two views - particle and wave - of the nature of light. The photoelectric...
