Q1) Michael Faraday work in electricity and magnetism and electrolysis technic and its relation to the existence of an electron
In electromagnetism, Faraday explains the concept of electromagnetic induction where he explains how to generate a current in a loop of wire when the magnetic field is altered around the loop. The connection between electricity and magnetism is mainly evident in electromagnetic induction as the production of one field leads to the production of the other. As a result, electric generators and other technologies that use circuits and power creed were discovered.
The Faradays law of electrolysis from electrolysis that he discovered led to the connection of the current flowing through the circuit to the mass of chemicals in a battery. The current flowing was discovered to be made up of negatively charged particles which were later identified as electrons.
Q2) Summaries the work of James Clerk Maxwell regarding the relationship between electricity and magnetism, electromagnetic wave and its relation to the speed of light
Despite the two phenomena being different they are considered as the same thing since when an electric charge is moving it produces a magnetic field and also a moving magnetic field produces an electric charge hence driving one the other automatically appear according to Maxwell. He explains that when the two fields are combined electromagnetic wave is formed where the waves have no medium limit to propagate.
With the waves propagated, Maxwell found out that they could travel through a vacuum at the same speed as light, therefore, deducing that light its self in all forms is an electromagnetic wave
Q3) Summaries Einstein development of the equation E=M C2 which is one of the outcomes of the special theory of relativity and its relation to the speed of light
Considering the mass lost during various experiments, Einstein was able to deduce a theory to convert the lost mass to energy with relation to the speed of light. This brought about the idea of mass and energy being the same at the square speed of light.
Q4) Work of Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn relating to nuclear fission
Lise and Otto formed a team in 1938 made of experimental and theoretical physics and bombard Uranium atom with neutrons with two outcome expectations which were either joining or unbalancing the Uranium atom for a new atom. The outcome gave them an atom lighter than the initial Uranium. Lise came up with a theory of using a liquid nucleus instead of a solid where the electron would hit the nucleus and split it into two drops. After experimenting they realized there was a disappearing mass in which they employed the Einstein theory of relativity to calculate the energy in terms of mass
E=mc2
It was proven that nuclear fission is a powerful source of energy
