Describe how absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light

Determine the expected diffraction angle for the first-order reflection from the (310) set of planes for bcc chromium when monochromatic radiation of wavelength 0.0735 nm is used. the atomic radius for cr is 0.1249 nm.

Identical marbles are released from the same height on each of the following four frictionless ramps . compare the speed of the marbles at the end of each ramp. explain your reasoning

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass
