Questions and Answers

What are the two possible outcomes for a photon after interacting with an atom?

  • Photon splits into smaller particles or disappears completely
  • Photon changes color or disappears partially
  • Photon disappears completely or is scattered (correct)
  • Photon increases in energy or decreases in energy

    • When a photon is scattered, what are the two possible outcomes?

  • Resulting photon disappears or creates additional photons
  • Resulting photon has the same energy or has lower energy (correct)
  • Resulting photon is absorbed or changes direction
  • Resulting photon has higher energy or disappears completely

    • What happens to the excess energy if the resulting scattered photon has a lower energy than the incident photon?

  • The excess energy disappears
  • The energy excess is transferred to a light charged particle (correct)
  • The energy excess causes the atom to emit a new photon
  • The energy excess is converted to heat
