What is the difference between ray theory and mode theory of light?
mode theory assumes light to be a wave, but ray theory does not assume light to be either a wave or particle. ray theory is used to calculate properties like magnification or distance to the object or image in an optical system, where as mode theory is used find bandwidth, reflection coefficients and parallel polarization.
Is Compton effect support the wave theory of light or particle theory?
yes it supports the wave theory of light...
Which theory of light best explains the interference of light?
It is the wave theory of light that best explains interference. The particle theory has problems when applied to this observable phenomenon.
Which theory of light is the photon more consistent with the wave theory or the particle theory?
this is a much more complicated question than perhaps you realise. try looking up "wave particle duality" photons have the strange characteristic of haveing properties of both a wave and a particle.
Who discovered light can move?
Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton were both responsible for the knowledge we have today on the motion of light. Huygens proposed his wave theory for light's motion and Newton proposed the particle theory in the 17th century. It is accepted today that light moves in both wave form and particle form at once.
Discovery of particle theory of light?
Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655), an atomist, proposed a particle theory of light.

What physicist was the chief architect of the particle theory of light?
It was Max Planck who used the particle theory of light.
Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom a wave or particle theory?
wave theory of light

What law explains dual nature of light?
The wave-particle duality theory. This explains why sometimes light appears to travel as a wave, and why sometimes it appears to travel as a particle.
What is the difference between photon and neutron?
Neutron is a neutral particle present within the nucleus of an atom. Proton is a positively charged particle present within the nucleus of an atom. Photons are particles of light.
Explain the most modern theory of light?
the theory is very interesting but it is a2-f5+p-0=78p

What is difference between a proton and a photon?
The photon is the quanta of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. radio, light, x-rays, gamma rays). Quanta are the smallest units of something allowed.
