please help me and my friend! we have been looking for answers for hours & cannot find anything! we really need to finish these questions. please please please please please please help!

Answer 1

1. When an electron is accelerated, EM radiation is released.

2. This radiation can be interpreted as either electricity -like (an oscillating disturbance in the EM field) -or __________ like (a massless particle called the photon) moving outward at the speed of light.

Answer 2

1. When an ELECTRON is accelerated, EM radiation is released.

2. This radiation can be interpreted as either WAVE -like (an oscillating disturbance in the EM field) -or PARTICLE like (a massless particle called the PHOTON moving outward at the speed of LIGHT.

Answer 3

The second answer (electron, wave, particle) is correct.  Depending on the situation it is sometimes necessary to think of radiation in one sense or the other.
