Question

what happens when light from the sun passes through any type of matter? the light slows down. the light speeds up. most of the light is absorbed. most of the light is reflected.

Explanation:

Light travels at its maximum speed in a vacuum. When it passes through matter (such as air, water, glass etc.), it interacts with the atoms and molecules of the medium. These interactions cause the light to slow down. This is known as the refractive - index effect. Absorption and reflection are not the primary things that happen just because light passes through any type of matter. Absorption depends on the nature of the light's wavelength and the material's properties, and reflection depends on the surface properties and the angle of incidence.

Answer:

The light slows down.
