Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wavelengths of energy affect how it interacts with matter. Some wavelengths are reflected, while others are absorbed. Sound waves (B) and adiabatic processes (C) do not directly affect the behavior of energy when it strikes matter. Frequencies (D) are related to wavelengths and can also affect how energy interacts with matter, but wavelengths are a more direct and accurate choice for this question.
