The waves ALWAYS do one, two, or all three

of these three things:

  • pass through the object,
  • get absorbed by the object,
  • bounce off of the object.

What large object in your solar system emits electromagnetic wave?

The best example of a large object in the solar system that emits electromagnetic waves is the sun, since it is the largest such object and also emits the greatest amount of electromagnetic waves. But also note, the planets Earth and Jupiter also both qualify as large objects which emit electromagnetic waves.


Which type of electromagnetic wave will be emitted by a cooler object?

The type of electromagnetic waves that will be emitted by a cooler object are waves with long wavelengths. The wavelength of peak emission is determined by Wien's Law.


When light encounters a material it can build up vibrations in the electrons of certain atoms that may be intense enough to last over a long period of time. Will the energy of these vibrations tend...?

When a light wave hits an object, what happens to it depends on the energy of the light wave. The waves can be reflected or scattered off the object; waves can be absorbed by the object; waves can be refracted through the object; waves can pass through the object with no effect.
