How does incident light that falls on an object affect the motion of electrons in the atoms of the object?

Physics

KonstantinChe [14]2 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Incident light makes an electron oscillate. The electrons emit light or absorb the light, collide with other electrons, thereby converting light energy to more internal energy. and convert it to heat.

Light wave of a given frequency is incident on a material with electrons having the same vibrational frequencies, then electrons absorb the energy of the light wave and transform it into vibrational motion.

What is light energy
Oliga [24]
Light energy is defined as how nature moves energy at an extremely rapid rate, and it makes up about 99% of the body's atoms and cells, and signal all body parts to carry out their respective tasks. An example of light energy is the movement of a radio signal.

The convection currents in the asthenosphere cause the movement of the
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Convection currents generated within the asthenosphere push magma upward through volcanic vents and spreading centres to create new crust. Convection currents also stress the lithosphere above, and the cracking that often results manifests as earthquakes.

maw [93]
 <span>This problem is relatively simple, in order to solve this problem the only formula you need to know is the formula for friction, which is: 

Ff = UsN 

where Us is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force. 

In order to get the crate moving you must first apply enough force to overcome the static friction: 

Fapplied = Ff 

Since Fapplied = 43 Newtons: 

Fapplied = Ff = 43 = UsN 

and it was given that Us = 0.11, so all you have to do is isolate N by dividing both sides by 0.11 

43/0.11 = N = 390.9 which is approximately 391 or C. 3.9x10^2</span>
