Can heating/cooling a material effect absorption, and transmission

In summary, Nicholas Hamilothoris suggests that the energy requirements of the electron voltage of the electrons for the radio waves to absorb, and not transmission the photons, or if radio waves don't have enough electron voltage could another em wave you used work that has a higher eV, which might help better in absortion. However, changing the frequency of any wave or photon once it is transmitted, won't work because the em waves are going to get absorbed on the surface of the material instantly, and not pass through the material.

... transmission of any electromagnetic radiation.

I am trying to think of a way for em waves to pass through a solid opaque material, and then while the em waves are INSIDE the material, then some how the electrons absorb the em waves.
Any em waves that get absorbed by electrons like light would just get absorbed on the surface of any material, as the em waves hit the object, the light waves would never get through the material.

So if you can imagine a radio wave, or any other em wave that passes through a solid opaque material, if the material was heated, or cooled to a certain point, would this change the energy requirements of the electron voltage of the electrons for the radio waves to absorb, and not transmission the photons, or if radio waves don't have enough electron voltage could another em wave you used work that has a higher eV, which might help better in absortion.

changing the frequency of any wave or photon once it is transmitted, won't work because the em waves are going to get absorbed on the surface of the material instantly, and not pass through the material.
So there has to be a way to affect the electrons in a way I hope to absorb the em waves that traverse.

I am grateful for your help, anything helps even a few words.

This looks like a re-post of your other thread...

What is absorption?

Absorption is the process in which a material takes in and retains energy from another source, such as heat or light.

How does heating/cooling affect absorption?

Heating a material can increase its absorption of energy, as the particles within the material become more agitated and able to absorb more energy. Conversely, cooling a material can decrease its absorption capabilities, as the particles become less active and less able to take in energy.

Can heating/cooling affect the transmission of materials?

Yes, heating and cooling can also impact the transmission of materials. As a material absorbs more energy, it may also become more opaque, meaning less light or heat can pass through. On the other hand, cooling a material may make it more transparent or allow for more efficient transmission of energy.

What factors can influence the effect of heating/cooling on absorption and transmission?

The specific properties of a material, such as its composition and structure, can greatly influence how it responds to heating and cooling in terms of absorption and transmission. The wavelength and intensity of the energy source can also play a role in the effects of heating and cooling.

Are there any practical applications for understanding the relationship between heating/cooling and absorption/transmission?

Yes, understanding how heating and cooling can affect the absorption and transmission of materials is crucial in many fields, such as material science, engineering, and environmental science. It can also have practical applications in areas like energy efficiency, building design, and solar energy technology.
