How do we know what's inside an atom?

To really 'see' inside the atom and detect fundamental particles we need to go beyond visible light and bounce particles off the smallest building blocks of the Universe to 'observe' them. This session introduces students to the scientific process—how scientific methods and theories are updated and develop as new evidence and information is collected.

Explanation:

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
