What else can I help you with?
Are we humans not able to see light from sun clear because of its brightness or the wavelengths?
We have NO TROUBLE at all seeing visible light wavelengths from the sun.We cannot see the radio, microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, or x-ray "light" from the sun because our eyes are not sensitive to these wavelengths.
What advantage does a plant obtain by having molecules that act at different wavelengths?
Different wavelengths may be present at different times, or in different environments. If a plant is able to photosynthesise using light of many different wavelengths, it is able to continue to function in a range of situations - when other plants may not have been able to.
How are other organisms able to perceive light in wavelengths that are invisible to humans?
Other organisms can perceive light in wavelengths that are invisible to humans through specialized photoreceptor cells in their eyes. These cells are sensitive to different wavelengths of light, allowing them to see a wider range of colors and light frequencies than humans can. This ability to perceive invisible light wavelengths allows these organisms to navigate their environment, communicate, and find food more effectively.
The peak of the Sun's energy output is in the visible light range. Is this a coincidence?
No, not at all. The human eye developed to be able to see light in the range that we call visible light because it is at the peak of the Sun's output. If the peak of the Sun's output was in the gamma ray range, then eyes would have developed to be able to see gamma rays.
How do wavelengths absorbed by cans differ from wavelengths radiated?
Wavelengths absorbed by cans correspond to the specific frequencies of light or energy that the material of the can is able to capture and convert into heat. On the other hand, wavelengths radiated by cans relate to the frequencies of light or energy that the material emits as heat due to its temperature. The absorbed wavelengths contribute to the internal energy of the can, while the radiated wavelengths represent the release of that energy in the form of heat.
What you see when reflected wavelengths of light reach your eyes?
You see colors present in the reflected wavelengths of light reaching your eyes. The color perceived depends on which wavelengths are absorbed and which are reflected by the object. This process allows you to visually perceive the color of objects around you.
Why can wavelengths of light be seen by humans?
Wavelengths of light fall within the visible spectrum, which is the range of electromagnetic radiation that the human eye is able to detect. Photoreceptor cells in the retina convert light energy into electrical impulses that are interpreted by the brain as different colors.
What forms of electromagnetic energy can transmit through glass?
Electromagnetic energy in the form of visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation can transmit through glass. These wavelengths are able to pass through the structure of glass due to their specific properties and frequencies.
How do gamma rays pass through the body?
Gamma rays are able to pass through the body because they have high energy and very short wavelengths. This allows them to penetrate matter easily, including the tissues in the body. This ability makes gamma rays useful in medical imaging and cancer treatment.
Why are Chlorophyll b and the carotenoids important as receptors of light energy?
These pigments are able to absorb more wavelengths of light (and thus more energy) than chlorophyllaalone can absorb. As part of light-harvesting complexes in photosystems, they broaden the range of light that can be used in the light reactions.
What must happen to all wavelengths of light?
There a couple things that must happen to all wavelengths of light so that a substance can reflect white. The substance needs to be able to reflect each wavelength equally and the wavelengths must hit it at the same time.
How are we able to see the color white?
We are able to see the color white because it reflects all wavelengths of visible light, making it appear bright and colorless to our eyes.
