How can light interact with wood

Physics
1 answer:
mr_godi [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Light interacts with wood through it's particle nature.

Explanation:

LIGHT has dual nature properties . It behaves with waves as a wave and with particles as a particle .

Light can interact with matter in three ways: absorption, transmission, and reflection.

  1. ABSORPTION :
  • When a light wave with a identical frequency to an electron’s natural frequency “impinges” upon an atom, <em>the electrons will begin to vibrate</em> as a result .
  • The electrons will absorb the light wave and turn it into a vibrational motion . The electrons, in turn, bump up against neighboring atoms, which<em> changes the vibrations intothermal energy</em> .
  • This <em>thermal energy is not turned back into light energy, thus that particular light wave never leaves the object again. This is ABSORPTION. </em>

    2. REFLECTION :

  • This occurs when the <em>frequency of the incoming light wave </em><em>does not match</em><em> that of the electrons’ natural frequency. </em>
  • If the object is opaque , the electron vibrations are not “passed down” like during absorption.
  • Rather, <em>the surface-level electrons vibrate briefly before emitting that wave back out (as light). This is REFLECTION. </em>

    3. TRANSMISSION :

  • Transmission works along the same lines as reflection, except it involves transparent or semi-transparent objects.
  • The atoms taken in the wave, vibrate briefly (but at a small amplitude) , <em>transfer the vibrations throughout the body </em><em>of the material, and then </em><em>re-emit the wave as light out the other end.</em><em> This is TRANSMISSION.</em>

A very good insulator has an R-value of 29. The material's heat transfer coefficient is
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

b. 0.034

Explanation:

The heat transfer coefficient of a material (U-value) is equal to the reciprocal of its R-value, therefore:

U = \frac{1}{R}

where

R is the R-value of the material

For the insulator in this problem,

R = 29

Substituting into the equation, we find the heat transfer coefficient:

U=\frac{1}{29}=0.034
