Describe what happens to visible light when it hits a surface? What happens to light as it passes through a material? Describe the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy in electromagnetic waves. Which waves are the most dangerous?

Iguanas need to live in a habitat that is very warm, so the pet store warms their enclosures with “basking lights” which act as an artificial sun. Describe how the three methods of thermal energy transfer may take place within the iguana’s enclosure.
(ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS PLEASE!)

1 question- Three different things happen when light hits a surface, it can be reflected (bounce off), absorbed or transmitted (pass through). Glass reflects some light but most of the light is transmitted straight through. That's why we can see objects on the other side of a closed window. We say that glass is transparent.

2 question- All materials have what is known as an index of refraction, which is linked to how fast light can travel through the material. As light passes through air and into another clear material (such as glass), it changes speed, and light is both reflected and refracted by the glass

3 question- The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency, but inversely proportional to its wavelength. In other words, the greater the energy, the larger the frequency and the shorter (smaller) the wavelength

4 question- The most dangerous frequencies of electromagnetic energy are X-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet light and microwaves. X-rays, gamma rays and UV light can damage living tissues, and microwaves can cook them

5 question- Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat.  Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object as is the case with conduction and convection. Heat can be transmitted through empty space by thermal radiation often called infrared radiation.

I hope this helps!
