When a light particle,or photon, hits an electron, the electron jumps to a higher energy state.

What we had just done a clicker question on is discussing light as a particle and the photoelectric effect, so we're going to finish up with a few points about the photoelectric effect today.

我们刚才做得课堂表决器那个问题,是讨论光作为一个粒子以及光电效应，所以今天我们将以一些,关于光电效应的观点作为结束。

So, it turns out that the photoelectric effect is not the only evidence for the fact that light has these particle-like characteristics.

所以，原来是光电效应,不是唯一的证明光具有,粒子特性的证据。

Light can behave as a particle.

光子能像粒子一样运动。

So up to this point, before it was really established that yes, light is like a particle sometimes, there was this very strong distinction between what is light and what is matter.

所以关于这个观点，在它被真正确立之前，光有时候像粒子，在什么是光和什么是物质之间,有一个非常巨大的区别。

And we'll also talk about photon momentum as another example of light behaving up as a particle.

并且我们也会讨论光子动量的问题,这个可以作为光有粒子行为的例子。

So, we'll take a little bit of a step back after we introduce quantum mechanics, and talk about light as a wave, and the characteristic of waves, and then light as a particle. And one example of this is in the photoelectric effect.

等我们介绍完量子力学后,我们要回过头来讨论下光,作为一种波和它的波动性特征,以及光作为一种粒子,其中的一个粒子就是光电效应。

And the reason that quantum mechanics is going to work where classical mechanics fails is that classical mechanics did not take into account the fact that matter has both wave-like and particle-like properties, and light has both wave-like and particle-like properties.

上发生的行为,量子力学得以成功,而经典力学却失败的原因,是因为经典力学,不能包容物质的，波动性和粒子性,和光的波动性和粒子性。
