Can infra red photon hit to chang direction of light?

An infrared photon hit will probably not change the direction of light. Light itself is made out of photons and typically does not travel in straight lines, except when used in lasers.


What is the path of electrons through the light-dependent reactions?

1. Photon of Light Absorbed by Photosystem II 2. Bounces around until it reaches the reaction center 3. Taken by electron transport chain. As it bounces from chain to chain, it loses small amounts of energy to make ATP. 4. Taken by Photosystem I. Hit by a Photon of Light 5. Bounces till reaction center 6. Moved to electron transport chain. 7. Accepted by NADP+


What would cause an atom to not be in its ground state?

it gets hit by a photon of light energy and moves up to a higher energy orbital


How long does it take for energy to get from the core to the surface of the sun?

A photon of light takes about a million years to escape from the Sun. This is because, as the photon makes a random move, it will hit another photon, and move off in another direction. Because of the density, and the amount of other photons, it can take this amount of time to reach the surface of the Sun. Once free of the Sun, the photon is unaffected and can "stream" out at the speed of light to wherever it wants to go.


What happens to tron light cycles when they hit a light wall?

they are derezzed when they hit their own light trail or another program/users trail


How long it takes for a particle from the moon to hit earth?

Well, if it is a particle of light (a photon) it takes about a second and a half. If it is any other particle, one that does not move at the speed of light, then you have to define a speed for it.


What happens when a photon from sunlight strikes a chlorophyll a molecule?

When a photon strikes a pigment molecule such as chlorophyll, the energy from the photon is passed to the chlorophyll. This energy then continues to pass between molecules until it hits the reaction center, where the reaction of photosynthesis' glucose creation occurs.


How do sensors sense light and dark?

A: A photocell has the property to change resistance as photon hit its surface that cause a change in resistance with current is flowing a voltage is generated


What happens to sound or light waves when they hit a smooth surface?

They are reflected :)


What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?

They are reflected at the angle of incidence.


What does the light reaction require that the dark reaction does not?

the light reaction requires energy from the sun in the form of photons. these photons excite the electrons in photosystem II and results in the electrons passing through a series of redox reactions (creating a proton gradient that through chemiosmosis turns ADP into ATP) and replaces the missing electrons of photosystem I. then when photons hit photosystem II the electrons are re-energized and go through the reaction to reach NADP+ and though NADP+ reductase are accepted by the newly formed NADPH. so in short the products of the light reaction is what is required by the dark reaction (as well as 3 CO2)
