    Question about how we see materials and absorption

    Yes, I'm in my last semester of a BS in physics so I still have a lot to learn! I am taking an optics course now so hopefully I'll be able to get a better general idea about this subject

    Question about how we see materials and absorption

    I see. I had assumed that, as in many other areas of physics, one model cannot explain all phenomena. Thank you!

    Question about how we see materials and absorption

    Thank You! However now I am confused about white materials. I was given to believe that white light was all of the visible wavelengths, so I had assumed that they would be absorbing all wavelengths as well. Am I correct in that reasoning or is there another explanation?

    Question about how we see materials and absorption

    In griffith's introduction to electrodynamics, he goes over dispersion/absorption using the oscillating electron model. I understand the theory but I am confused about how it relates to how materials appear to us. He says that the material will be practically opaque in the frequency range with...
