Shonda is learning about a new kind of material that might be used to make new satellites, and she wonders if light can damage the material. Results show that X-ray light reflects off the material while gamma ray light transmits through the material. Based on this information, which type of light is more likely to damage the material?

• The gamma ray light is more likely to damage the material because the gamma ray light can pull energy out of the material when it passes through the material.

• The X-ray light is more likely to damage the material because the X-ray light bounces off of the material, which means that it has more energy.

• There is no way to know because they are two different types of light, and different types of light can change a material in different ways.

• Neither type of light is likely to damage the material because the material does not take in energy from either the X-ray light or the gamma ray light.
