Do gases neither absorb nor reflect light??
I know that in photoionization experiments, we use gases so that they don't interfere with the absorbances.
And in the AAMC6 comet question, they said that gases do not reflect light.
Just wanted to confirm this and maybe spark some discussion on how gases behave.
I know that gases can absorb energy. That's how fluorescent light bulbs work...
So why wouldn't the gases in the photoionization experiments absorb light?
