When an electromagnetic wave such as light interacts with a solid and polarizes the electron clouds within the atomic structure

of that solid, what are the (2) primary consequences of this interaction

Answer:

1. Absorption or Emission of the light

2. Light induced changes in the matter  

Explanation:

When an electromagnetic wave such as light interacts with solid, two consequences are for sure:

1. Absorption or Emission of the light

2. Light induced changes in the matter

When light travels through the solid, the intensity of light decreases as a result of addition of light energy to the body to which it interacts. If the medium or body to which light interacts is low in absorbing due to its atomic structure inside then light passing through it will show it. On the contrary, if a material is high in absorbing, very less intensive light will travel out.

Moreover, there will ionization of the atoms inside the medium to which light interacts. As light carries energy and when it interacts with atoms of the body, atoms gets energy and excited or de-excited accordingly.

Hence, above are the two primary consequences of this interaction.

How are wavelength, pitch, frequency, and energy all related?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

he word that musicians use for frequency is pitch. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, and the higher the pitch, of the sound. In other words, short waves sound high; long waves sound low. ... In other words, it sounds higher

With the intensity at about half of maximum, how does the current change when you increase the frequency of the light?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

Energy  of  given as follows

E = h f

Where f is the frequency of incident light

when high frequency light falls then it will increase the number of produce photon and that increase in number of photon will lead to increase in the number of electron.When number of electron will increase it mean that current will also increase.

So we can say that when frequency increase then current will increase.

Galileo discovered that which planet undergoes phases as viewed from earth?
balu736 [363]
<h2>Answer: Venus</h2>

Galileo was the first to use the telescope to observe the heavens, mainly observing the Moon, the Sun with its sunspots, Jupiter with its moons and Venus (in the early 1600s).

In the case of Venus, he observed that it presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth.

This is because Venus presented its smaller size when it is in full phase and the largest size when it is in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.

These images along with other discoveries were presented to the Catholic Church (which supported the <u>geocentric theory</u> for that time) as a proof that completely refutes Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirms <u>Copernicus' heliocentric theory.</u>

Which characteristic of a light wave must increase
anzhelika [568]
The answer is 4.

The speed of light is faster in the air than in the glass, because a wavelength can be refracted in glass. Because the speed increases when the light wave passes from glass into air, the wavelength will also increase.
