Hey i need with this question. how do microwaves penetrate?

Not all tiles will be usedidentify the element present in each star based on the gaps observed in wavelengths of its light refer to this table containing absorption wavelengths (in nm) of several different elements the table ishelium 447, 502 ,587 ,668carbon 427 ,515, 600 ,678sulfur 425, 565, 639, 675xenon 484, 590, 687calcium 429 ,527, 593, 645silver 421 ,521, 662

Based on the concept of the wave-like nature of light, huygens' theory of light postulates that the more light was "bent" by a substance the slower it would move while traversing across that substance. a) deflection b) interference c) refraction d) resonance

How is zig zagging a form of acceleration?
