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

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.

firearm identification is the process of analyzing the bullets and cartridge cases left at a crime scene to determine if they came from a particular firearm. marks on the bullets and cartridges may be common to every firearm of that type. these are called class characteristics.

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
