Question

A museum sets up a display of fluorescent minerals. which best describes how electromagnetic waves can be used to enhance the display? infrared light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light. visible light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off infrared light. ultraviolet light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light. visible light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off ultraviolet light.

Answer 1

Answer;

-Ultraviolet light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light.

Explanation;

-Electromagnetic waves or EM waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, they are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.

-Electromagnetic waves are used to transmit long/short/FM wavelength radio waves, and TV/telephone/wireless signals or energies. They are also responsible for transmitting energy in the form of microwaves, infrared radiation (IR), visible light (VIS), ultraviolet light (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays.

Answer 2

Answer:

ultraviolet light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light.

Explanation:

Here we know that in all electromagnetic waves have certain range of energy

Here in the above case when a given frequency range of electromagnetic wave incident on the fluorescent mineral then that mineral will absorb few amount of energy and the remaining energy will throw back into the surrounding again.

So here the main concept is that when a electromagnetic wave which is higher in energy then visible light incident on fluorescent material then it will absorb some amount of energy and the remaining energy is released in form of light

So here energy more than visible light is for ultraviolet light only

so here the correct answer would be

ultraviolet light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light.
