What is the primary mechanism by which infrared and ultraviolet radiation interact with matter?

  1. Reflection

  2. Refraction

  3. Absorption

  4. Diffraction


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Infrared and ultraviolet radiation interact with matter primarily through absorption. When these radiations are absorbed by molecules, they can cause changes in molecular structure and energy levels.

How does infrared photography capture images?

  1. By using special lenses that focus infrared light

  2. By using infrared-sensitive film or detectors

  3. By converting infrared light into visible light

  4. By using filters that block visible light


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Infrared photography captures images by using infrared-sensitive film or detectors that are sensitive to infrared radiation. These materials respond to infrared light and create an image based on the intensity of the infrared radiation.

How does ultraviolet photography capture images?
