What happens to light energy that is absorbed?
Light energy that is absorbed by an object can be converted into heat energy, initiating a molecular vibration or excitation. Some materials, like fluorescent or phosphorescent substances, can also re-emit absorbed light energy through fluorescence or phosphorescence. In photosynthesis, absorbed light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
What radioactive emission has the greatest penetrating power?
hi my names princess and i think that the answer is GAMMA RAYS if I'm right can you tell me
Why do some photons travel right through the atom unchanged while others are absorbed?
Photons can travel through an atom without being absorbed if they do not have enough energy to interact with the electrons in the atom. However, if a photon has enough energy to match the energy levels of the electrons in the atom, it can be absorbed, causing the electron to move to a higher energy level or be ejected from the atom.
Ehat is the difference between the way light interacts with the shirt above and the way light interacts whith the mirror at right?
Light interacts with the shirt above by being absorbed, reflected, and transmitted based on the color and material of the fabric, resulting in the perception of the color of the shirt. In contrast, light interacts with the mirror by being predominantly reflected, leading to the creation of a reflective image of the surroundings.
What radiation is hardest to stop?
Well It would most likely be gamma rays (gamma radiation) as it takes a wall of concrete several meters thick to stop them 2nd answer: Another form of radiation results in the emission of neutrinos, which are said to have no mass. As a result, they can whiz right through the earth, not to mention humans.
When light hits the earth's surface does it continue through?
Nope. Light particles (photons)are nowhere near energetic enough to do that. On the other hand, tiny super-high-energy particles called, "Neutrinos" from outside the Earth are right now passing through you, me, and the entire Earth. There are not many materials dense enough to stop Neutrinos!
What does a gamma wave do in an X-ray machine?
A gamma ray might have a good chance of going right through the X-ray machine. Remember that the X-ray machine creates X-rays and not gamma rays to perform its function.

Which type of ionising radiation is stopped from entering the body by the layer of dead skin at the surface?
Alpha radiation is stopped by the dead layer of skin because it has low penetration power and is easily absorbed. Beta and gamma radiation, on the other hand, can penetrate through the skin and potentially enter the body.

What happens to light waves when it strikes an object?
light can do one of 4 things. it can, a] bounce off of an object, b] get absorbed, or c] be dispersed. this happens when white light goes through a prism, and comes out as all colors of the visible spectrum, ROYGBIV. [red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet] and refract d]
Which particles make moon reflect sun light?
When light hits any kind of matter, the light can be reflected or absorbed, or the light can pass right through. Very few kinds of matter are entirely transparent, so light is generally either reflected or absorbed. Light will be reflected from almost ANY matter that is not absolutely flat "matte" black. Even a 2% or 3% reflectivity or "albedo" will make the object visible, and the surface of the Moon is about 12% reflective. Because so much sunlight hits the Moon, even a 12% reflectivity makes the Moon "shine" quite brightly.
Is there a formula for all the mach speeds?
:<math>{M}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{\gamma-1}\left[\left(\frac{q_c}{P}+1\right)^\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}-1\right]}</math>
What does solar radiation produce when it strikes the Earth?
Most solar energy when it hits the atmosphere goes right through and warms the surface of the earth. The warmed surface of the earth radiates infra-red heat into the atmosphere where some of it is captured by greenhouse gases. The more greenhouse gas there is, then the warmer the atmosphere becomes.
Can gamma rays make sun burns?
no they cant because gamma rays are waves and are so powerful they can simply go right through you without causing you to much harm. beta can be fatal and so can alpha if given in a large quantity inside someone.
What color does a violet grape reflect?
violet is reflected, all the colors are absorbed [red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and indigo]
What in the atmosphere asorbs energy?
The atmosphere is transparent to the visible light of the Sun. So it passes right through, only to get absorbed by the surface of the Earth.
