Hi, I'd like to know how does electromagnetic radiation behave at absolute zero temparature ? pls let me know. Thanks in advance !
Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature at which all molecular motion stops. It is equivalent to 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.
At absolute zero, all molecular motion stops and atoms are frozen in place. This means that there is no movement of electrons, which are responsible for emitting and absorbing light. Therefore, light cannot exist at absolute zero.
No, it is not possible to cool light to absolute zero. This is because light is made up of massless particles called photons, which do not have a temperature and cannot be cooled or frozen.
Studying light at absolute zero helps scientists understand the fundamental properties of light and how it behaves in extreme conditions. It also has implications for fields such as quantum mechanics and superconductivity.
The relationship between light and temperature is complex. Light is a form of energy, and temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles. At higher temperatures, particles have more kinetic energy and are more likely to emit and absorb light. At absolute zero, there is no molecular motion and therefore no emission or absorption of light.
