What characteristic of electromagnetic radiation determines how it is reflected, transmitted or absorbed by a particular substance?
Muchas Gracias/ Thanks!What characteristic of electromagnetic radiation determines how it is reflected by a particular substance?
it is actually not the characteristics of the radiation. It the the property of the substance only. like black object absorbs every radiationsWhat characteristic of electromagnetic radiation determines how it is reflected by a particular substance?
Thankyou for these answers! But, strangely enough, the answer was wavelengths... bit odd considering what you all said!

What characteristic of electromagnetic radiation determines how it is reflected by a particular substance?Specifically, the constituent atoms of the molecules composing the substance. The difference of the energy level of the electron in the atom with the energy of the incident photon determines the probability of the photon being absorbed and a new photon being radiated.
The radiation it self (photons) have the property that there energy is always proportional to planks constant.
