Study the scenario.

blue light is capable of travelling down through ocean water to a significant depth, but red light does not penetrate nearly so deep.

which choice most accurately describes the effect of energy on water molecules during absorption?
lue light is poorly absorbed by the electrons found in water molecules, and must travel though many molecules until all the blue light energy is absorbed and converted to heat. red light is more easily absorbed, and is all converted to heat in the upper layers of the ocean.
the energy from both blue and red light is equally well absorbed by the electrons in water, and transformed into heat, however water reemits some of this absorbed energy as blue light, which then penetrates deeper into the oceans depths.
red light is poorly absorbed by the electrons in water molecules, and is therefore more likely to be reflected back the way it came. blue light is more easily absorbed, and although it is eventually converted to heat, it does tend to penetrate deeper.
red light contains more energy than blue light. as the two types of light waves travel through water, some of the energy is absorbed from the light waves as they go, turning into heat. the change in energy of the light, changes the color of the red light from red to blue, so that it appears that blue light goes further.

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?
