What happens when light from the sun passes through any type of matter?
the light slows down.
the light speeds up.
most of the light is absorbed.
most of the light is reflected.

the light slows down

Explanation:

there are things blocking the sun

Option (1)

Explanation:

When light emitted from the sun is allowed to pass through any type of matter, the speed of the light wave gets affected. This leads to the decreasing speed of the light. It takes place due to the interaction of the materials that are present in the matter which could be glassy or comprised of water. The amount of charge particles that are present within a matter also results in the decreasing speed of light.

Thus, the interaction of light with the substances comprising the matter allows the speed of the light to slow down.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
