Generally a solid The "hologram" is technically considered to be the medium that stores a 3-D image. The medium is made of some solid material such as plastic. It would be difficult to encode stable image data into a liquid or gas.

If you are asking about the image generated by the hologram, then the answer is none of the above. The image is produced by the interaction of photons (i.e. Light) reflected and diffracted by the hologram.

Light is neither a solid, nor a liquid, nor a gas. Sources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hologram .

None of the above... well, literally, the information is usually recorded on a solid film. When most people talk about a hologram, they talk about the three dimensional image which they see. In this sense, a hologram isn't a real object with a physical presence, it consists entirely of light.

Consequently, a hologram is no more a solid, a liquid or a gas than sunlight is. The technical details are rather complicated, and my knowledge of optics is a little faded, but you can think of a hologram as being something like a 3d photograph so in that sense the medium on which they are recorded is usually a solid, but the thing which you actually see can be produced in the atmosphere (which is obviously a gas) or some transparent solid (like, say, clear plastic). By recording more information about the scene than a usual photograph does (in particular, the phase of the light waves) it's possible to reconstruct a 3d image if they are properly illuminated.

A Hologram is Made of Light Since a hologram is made of light, it must be .... light. Light isn't solid, liquid or gas. It's energy, not matter, so none of the states of matter properly apply.

States of matter apply when you have molecules interacting, e.g. , in ice molecules of water move slowly and make stronger bonds than in steam where they're moving quickly and make weaker bonds. Light, and thus holograms, undergo none of these state changes..

I argue that it is a solid A hologram describes an object representation on holographic paper, paper being the solid. The light reflection is not a state of matter, but the way the eye processes the light. Far out, huh?

Great question! When you look at a hologram, what you are seeing is a reflection of a solid. So, the question really is, what is that reflection: a solid, a liquid, or a gas?

I asked my husband, who said (after we debated a little), "Your perception of the hologram--what you THINK you’re seeing--is irrelevant; what you ARE seeing is a solid, so it’s a solid. " It took me a while, but I think I can buy into that. What a super question!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
