Question
- maya wonders which types of light could heat up a sheet of aluminum. * 1 point
the table below shows what happens when different types of light hit the
aluminum. (image below) based on this information, which type of light is
more likely to heat up the sheet of aluminum?
the x-ray light is more likely to heat up the aluminum because the x-ray light can
pull energy out of the aluminum when it passes through the aluminum.
the ultraviolet light is more likely to heat up the aluminum because the ultraviolet
light bounces off the aluminum, which means that it has more energy
there is no way to know because they are two different types of light, and different
types of light can change a material in different ways.
neither type of light is likely to heat up the aluminum because the aluminum does
not take in energy from either the x-ray light or the ultraviolet light.
question 3
| x-ray light | transmitted through the aluminum |
|---|
- these graphs below show the wavelength and amplitude of light
coming from three lasers. could any of these lasers be giving off a different
type of light?
yes. laser 2 is giving off a different type of light because laser 2 has a different
wavelength than lasers 1 and 3
When light is absorbed by a material, its energy is transferred to the material, causing it to heat up. X - ray light is transmitted through the aluminum, meaning the aluminum does not absorb the X - ray light's energy. Ultraviolet light is reflected off the aluminum, also indicating no absorption. Since the aluminum does not take in energy from either the X - ray light or the ultraviolet light, neither type of light is likely to heat up the aluminum.
