Great video! I have a question. So does that mean the molecules in almost everything around us, like tables, chairs etc are constantly going from ground to excited?! Are these only the surface molecules of materials?

@@michaeladdis3323 Except that objects have not color. Their actual color depends on what light is being directed to them. We see all the objects in colors that are under the light of the Sun, which is yellow-ish. The atmosphere absorbs every color but Blue, but when it's charged with more water, which difracts and diffuses the Sunlight, it's grey, green-ish (dark green means Hail). The snow isn't white, it reflects all colors, ''forming'' the white we see. But in the dawn/dusk, it looks tinted with blue or cyan. If you point a red laser to snow, it'll reject that color because snow rejects all colors. So you'll see the red point illuminating the snow creating a red glow.

What if the energy of the photon was greater than it needs to get excited? Does it absorb just what it needs or just let it go?
@souravnandi2794
4 жыл бұрын
There is a threshold energy level for every electron in a particular energy level or the shell of an atom. If the energy being supplied is greater than the required energy (threshold), then the rest of the energy is absorbed by the electron and gets converted into kinetic energy of the electron.

Are there cases where visible light is not absorbed but still reflected? Also, does reflection mean photoluminescence?
@EverydayElements
4 жыл бұрын
I like to break it down this way (albeit it is more nuanced than this). When a certain wavelength of light hits an object it can be either absorbed or not absorbed. If it's not absorbed it could either be reflected or pass through in the case of translucent/transparent objects. Photoluminescence describes the process of photo emission after electron excitation, which is not addressed in this video and opens a whole new can of worms.

Typically the combination of wavelengths that are not absorbed, and are instead reflected, appear to us as the complimentary color of what was absorbed
@shantonoyona5687

Well, another question. The energy of the absorbed light are actually absorbed by the electrons and change shells. So while returning to the previous shell, they emit electromagnetic wave, if that wave is in the visible wavelength does it effect the color of the object?

It can get quite a bit more complicated. But in general, yes. If the energy difference between the ground state and excited state for electrons in a substance exceeds the energy of visible light, it will be transparent (or if all the colors are equally reflected, it might be white).

Great question! When the electrons relax back down to their ground state they don't take the same path they used to get excited. They typically relax in chunks, a combination of smaller vibrational and rotational relaxations, before potentially a large relaxation which releases color. So the color they emit will be different than what they absorb. You can kind of think of it like skiing. Take the ski lift in a straight shot to go up to the top of a mountain, but slowly meander your way back down in smaller chunks.
