What happens to light of a certain frequency that encounters atoms of the same resonant frequency?

It would be absorbed by the atoms, and it would boost electrons to higher energy states,
or kick them out of the atoms entirely. That's called the "photoelectric effect". Einstein got
his first Nobel Prize for explaining it in a paper he published in 1907.

What happens to the frequency when the wheel speed increases?
Frequency increases.
What happens when you adjust frequency?
when you increase the frequency, then the wavelength decreases. :)
What happens if frequency increases?
Something happens more often. Like if you fart frequency increases then you fart more often.
What happens to wavelengths when frequency decreses?
Wavelength is inversely proportional to Frequency. Wavelengths increase as Frequency decreases.
Can frequency of wave be negative?
No. Frequency is the number of times something happens, per unit time. If nothing happens, the frequency is zero. We cannot have a negative number of things happening.
What happens in a circuit at resonant frequency?
what is resonant frequency
What happens to current at resonant frequency?
Current is at maximum
What device has a frequency?
Frequency means 'how many times an event happens in a period of time'. Most things have a resonant frequency. This is that they will vibrate, or wobble, in a reular pattern, when stimulated by an external force. The frequency of natural resonance will depend on the material and size of the object. The frequency of electromagnetic fields is known as radio. The infinate number of different frequencies, enables us to choose one signal over another, by use of resonant circuits and filters. The resonant frequency of taught strings and columns of air, gives us musical instruments. The regular movement of changes in air pressure, enables us to percieve sound at different frequencies. So, just about everything has a 'Frequency'
What causes the oscillation at a certain frequency in an inkjet printer?
I assume you mean the frequency at which the head moves back and forth. If this happens only at a certain frequency, then it sounds as if that is caused by resonance - which happens when the excitation (in this case, the head moving back and forth) has a similar frequency to the object's (the printer's) natural frequency.
What happens when the encounters an input statement?
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE COMPUTER ENCOUNTERS AN INPUT STATEMENT
If a wave is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled what happens to the wavelength of that wave?
Wavelength = 1/frequency. If you double the frequency, the wavelength drops to half.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave that is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled?
If the frequency becomes double what it was, then the wavelength becomes 1/2 of what it was.
What happens when you stick a core into a coil inductor in an undriven circuit?
If the circuit is undriven, there is no power, so inserting a core does nothing. In general, however, inserting a core into an inductor increases its inductance. Depending on the circuit, that lowers the resonant frequency.
What happens when you reduce the freqency of a sound wave?
Below a certain frequency you won't hear it- depends on individual but about 20Hz
What happens when an electric current encounters resistance?
An electron traveling through the wires and loads of the external circuit encounters resistance.
What happens to the frequency when the wheel speed increases?
Frequency increases.
What does the frequency of an earthquake mean?
Frequency is how often something happens.
