Ahh help this is a science question I have: Will is learning about a new kind of plastic used to make tools. He learns that infrared light is absorbed by the plastic, x-ray light is transmitted through the plastic, and visible light is reflected off the plastic. Will wonders if the plastic will melt if he shines light on it.

Can light cause the plastic to melt? Why or why not? Does it matter what type of light he shines on the plastic?

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the velocity is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. how far is earth from the sun? i know how to get to d = (3 x 10^8 m/s)(498 sec). i just don't know how to get from there to the answer being 1.5 x 10^11 m.
