Yes, light is a particle!

from Spherical Cow Hosted by Olivia and Naina

Welcome back, Spherical Cow Moonions! This week we are continuing our journey through the history of light, the birth of quantum mechanics and particle-wave duality! In this episode we are carrying on with our discussion about the birth of quantum mechanics by talking about the Photoelectric Effect and the Compton Effect. Please see an addition to our discussion below: 15:07 - Poor Robert Millikan! We forgot to mention that he also won a Nobel Prize in 1923 for his work on the Photoelectric Effect and for determining the charge on the electron.

Each episode we will interview a new specialist, to bring information in their specific field. The Cows Are Mad BBC Radio 4 The Covid-19 pandemic has been one of the weirdest things any of us has lived through. But there was another sickness that once stalked the nation and turned things very strange for a while. In the 1990s Britain was hit by an epidemic of a fatal neurological disease in cows that also killed 178 humans. Science was split between government assurances of safety and dissidents warning of disaster. Trust in officials took a battering. Facts became blurred. And the grisly truth about our global industrialised meat industry was revealed. 30 years on, scientists and activists are still searching for answers to two big questions - where did mad cow disease originally come from and how did humans get infected? This crazy tale of cannibal cows, competing origin theories, and scientific dead ends lives on as the madness continues to spread.
