Which consequence results when high pressure narrows a silicate's *band gap*?

💡 Explanation

Increased pressure causes *band gap narrowing*, shifting absorption to lower energies; consequently, increased photon absorption arises because a smaller energy input activates electrons, therefore optical transparency reduces, rather than other mechanical changes.
