Best Answer

When a light passes through a diffuse cloud, part of the light will be reflected, part will be absorbed, and the rest will pass through depending on the density of the cloud and the energy of the light.

The light's energy can be expressed by: E = h(Planck's constant)*nu(frequency)

If considering two different atoms explain the spectral lines?

Spectral lines are bright or dark lines in an otherwise continuous or uniform spectrum. They are caused by an excess (emission lines) or deficiency (absorption lines) of observed photons within certain frequency ranges. Absorption lines usually come from a background continuum; photons are absorbed when passing through matter to the observer. Absorption occurs when an electron within an atom absorbs a photons energy and is bumped up to an excited state. Emission lines usually come from hot gases; photons are emitted from these gases and reach the observer. Emission occurs when an electron within an atom falls back down to it's ground state and releases energy in the form of a photon.

How do you analyze a UV vis readout?

The answer is very complicated. There is no short answer. Courses in chemistry would be needed to explain. In general, the readout gives you a relative absorption of a wavelength of light passing thru a special sample of a chemical. By using several readings and having a knowledge of what you are analyzing, will only get you started.

Why are capillaries the site of material exchange between the cells and blood?

The walls of capillaries are very thin allowing the nutrients of cells to diffuse through them. They facilitate the diffusion of nutrients to the body by passing them through their cell walls.


What is absorption in physics?

It is the conversion of the energy of electromagnetic radiations, sound, streams of particles, etc.into other forms of energy on passing through a medium.
