Answer:

Visible Light Absorption

Atoms and molecules contain electrons. It is often useful to think of these electrons as being attached to the atoms by springs. The electrons and their attached springs have a tendency to vibrate at specific frequencies. Similar to a tuning fork or even a musical instrument, the electrons of atoms have a natural frequency at which they tend to vibrate. When a light wave with that same natural frequency impinges upon an atom, then the electrons of that atom will be set into vibrational motion. (This is merely another example of the resonance principle introduced in Unit 11 of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.) If a light wave of a given frequency strikes a material with electrons having the same vibrational frequencies, then those electrons will absorb the energy of the light wave and transform it into vibrational motion. During its vibration, the electrons interact with neighboring atoms in such a manner as to convert its vibrational energy into thermal energy. Subsequently, the light wave with that given frequency is absorbed by the object, never again to be released in the form of light. So the selective absorption of light by a particular material occurs because the selected frequency of the light wave matches the frequency at which electrons in the atoms of that material vibrate. Since different atoms and molecules have different natural frequencies of vibration, they will selectively absorb different frequencies of visible light.

The question being tested is whether or not the human body will produce more red blood cells at higher altitudes.

The hypothesis an athlete would create from this question is that the body will produce more red blood cells at a higher altitude to ensure the pumping of oxygen throughout the body.

Which of the following BEST explains why life on Mercury is most likely impossible?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

There are extreme temperature variations, ranging from excessive heat to extreme cold.

Explanation:

Mercury being closest to sun gets extremely hot, but its "night" side (the side that is away from sun at a given time) gets very cold cuz mercury has no atmosphere to trap the heat.
