Voltaic Cell, Its Construction and Defects

by

A voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell used to produce electrical energy with the help of a chemical reaction. It is the primary cell which was designated by Alessandro Volta in 1800. Construction A simple construction of a voltaic cell is shown in figure below. It consists of a copper plate and a zinc plate immersed in a … Read more

De Broglie theory (Duality)

by

The photoelectric effect showed that light consists of streams of particles called photons. This leads to the conclusion that like matter, light radiation can sometimes behave as particles. The phenomenon of interference, diffraction and polarization of the light indicate that light is wave. Light therefore, exhibits dual nature. It behaves like particle as well as … Read more
