Question
The wave-like character was experimentally proved for light by:
✓
Answer
- Young
Newton's particle theory remained accepted for a long time when it was challenged by the double-slit experiment of Thomas Young (1773-1829) in 1801. This experiment clearly established that light coming from two coherent sources interferes and produces maxima and minima depending on the path difference.

The velocity of a particle is zero at t = 0.
- The acceleration at t = 0 must be zero.
- The acceleration at t = 0 may be zero.
- If the acceleration is zero from t = 0 to t = 10s, the speed is also zero in this interval.
- If the speed is zero from t = 0 to t = 10s the acceleration is also zero in this interval.
