1/Which of the following is the best way to think about the lifetime of a photon?

Group of answer choices 

 

The photon is created as a wave, travels around as a wave, then is destroyed as a particle. 

 

The photon is created as a particle, travels around as a wave, then is destroyed as a particle. 

 

The photon is created as a wave, travels around as a particle, then is destroyed as a wave. 

 

The photon is created as a particle, travels around as a wave, then is destroyed as a wave. 

 

2/ Louis de Broglie came up with what very interesting theoretical physics leap?

Group of answer choices 

 

That the photon idea solves the photoelectric effect. 

 

That particles can be assigned a wavelength. 

 

That even though Einstein was able to say light behaved as a particle, light could still behave as a wave

 

3/Which of the following phenomena is the confusing weird thing that makes people excited about the wave particle duality?

Group of answer choices 

 

Single particles of light must be traveling through double slits and interfering with themselves as waves. 

 

A continuous ray of light goes through a double slit and produces a diffraction interference pattern. 

 

A continuous ray of particles of light must be traveling through double slits and interfering with each other as waves. 

 

4/The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is a very strange piece of physics. Which of the following is an example of this principle?

Group of answer choices 

 

The more we know about the location of an electron, the less we can know about how the electron moves. 

 

When scientists watch a system of electrons, they are never certain about which electron they are looking at because they are all completely identical. 

 

We can never know any detail precisely because the uncertainty principle restricts knowledge.
