what happens to light when it falls upon a material that has a natural frequency equal to the frequency of the light?

The energy from the light is transferred to the material, causing it to vibrate and absorb the light.

What is energy?
In physics, energy is the quantitative quality that is transmitted to the a body or a physical system, and is discernible in the work performed as well as in the form of light and heat. The law of conservation states that although energy can change its form, it cannot be created or destroyed. Energy is indeed a conserved quantity. The International System of Units' (SI's) joule is the measurement unit for energy (J). A moving object's kinetic energy, a solid object's elastic energy, chemical energy caused by chemical reactions, and the potential energy that an object stores (for instance because of its position inside a field) are examples of common forms of energy.

When light falls upon a material that has a natural frequency equal to the frequency of the light, the light will be absorbed by the material. This is due to resonance, which occurs when the frequency of the light matches the natural frequency of the material. The energy from the light is transferred to the material, causing it to vibrate and absorb the light.

Why forces are balanced and unbalanced? need help with this the lesson is tommorow
Naya [18.7K]
"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way. 

-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down.  It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.

-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move.  The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.

-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her.  If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.

From these examples, you can see a few things:

-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.

-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.

-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.

Use the data provided to calculate the gravitational potential energy of each cylinder mass. Round your answers to the nearest t
Goryan [66]

Answer: 14.7kJ, 29.4kJ, 44.1kJ

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.  </em>

<em />

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:  

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g=9.8m/s^{2} the acceleration due gravity and h=500m the height of the object.  

Knowing this, let's begin with the calculaations:

For m=3kg

U_{p}=(3kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)  

U_{p}=14700J=14.7kJ  

For m=6kg

U_{p}=(6kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)  

U_{p}=29400J=29.4kJ  

For m=9kg

U_{p}=(9kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)  

U_{p}=44100J=44.1kJ

1. What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 20 Km/hr to 100 km/hr in 8 seconds?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

10 :)

You have to divide the difference of speed and divide it by the time. So 100-20 would be 80, and if you divide that by 8 it would be 10.

Hope this helps.
