which ray diagram demonstrates the phenomenon of absorption?
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Absorption occurs when light energy is taken in by a material and converted into other forms of energy (usually heat). In a ray - diagram for absorption, the incident ray hits the material and there is no reflected or transmitted ray shown in the traditional sense. The second diagram, where the incident ray hits the material and then there is a wavy line representing energy being dissipated within the material, best represents absorption. The first diagram shows scattering (multiple rays going in different directions after hitting the material) and the third diagram shows reflection (ray bouncing off the material).
Answer:
The second ray - diagram.
