What color reflects wavelengths of the visible spectrum that hit it?
The color white reflects all wavelengths of the visible spectrum. That is why it is the brightest color.
What are the three wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?
There are an infinite number of wavelengths above visible, below visible, and within visible. Since reality has infinite resolution, we can imagine varying the wavelength with infinite division. To call out bands of wavelength: Ultraviolet, X-rays, & Gamma rays.
Which colour in the visible spectrum has the longest wavelengths?
Red.
What is the approximate range of wavelengths range of wavelengths for visible light?
375 to 750 nm
What color would plants be if they absorb all wavelengths of visible light?
why does plants color change to black when absorbed all wavelengths
How are stars different colors?
At different stages in their life cycles they have different temperatures and radiate different visible wavelengths.
What are color wavelengths?
The longest visible wavelengths are red,
What is the relationship between star color and star temperature?
Stars appear to be exclusively white at first glance. But if we look carefully, we can notice a range of colors: blue, white, red, and even gold. In the winter constellation of Orion, a beautiful contrast is seen between the red Betelgeuse at Orion's "armpit" and the blue Bellatrix at the shoulder. What causes stars to exhibit different colors remained a mystery until two centuries ago, when Physicists gained enough understanding of the nature of light and the properties of matter at immensely high temperatures. Specifically, it was the physics of blackbody radiation that enabled us to understand the variation of stellar colors. Shortly after blackbody radiation was understood, it was noticed that the spectra of stars look extremely similar to blackbody radiation curves of various temperatures, ranging from a few thousand Kelvin to ~50,000 Kelvin. The obvious conclusion is that stars are similar to blackbodies, and that the color variation of stars is a direct consequence of their surface temperatures. Cool stars (i.e., Spectral Type K and M) radiate most of their energy in the red and infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum and thus appear red, while hot stars (i.e., Spectral Type O and B) emit mostly at blue and ultra-violet wavelengths, making them appear blue or white. To estimate the surface temperature of a star, we can use the known relationship between the temperature of a blackbody, and the wavelength of light where its spectrum peaks. That is, as you increase the temperature of a blackbody, the peak of its spectrum moves to shorter (bluer) wavelengths of light. This is illustrated in Figure 1 where the intensity of three hypothetical stars is plotted against wavelength. The "rainbow" indicates the range of wavelengths that are visible to the human eye.
Does the sun radiate visible and invisible energy?
Yes.
Why do you call the visible light part of the EMS visible light?
Because it's comprised of the band of wavelengths that the human eye can detect, that is, wavelengths that are 'visible' to human beings.
What color reflects wavelengths of the visible spectrum that hit it?
The color white reflects all wavelengths of the visible spectrum. That is why it is the brightest color.
Light energy with wavelengths longer than visible red?
Light energy with wavelengths longer than visible red is infrared light.
If light of all visible wavelengths is combined the results appear to be what color?
If the lights from all visible wavelengths are combined, they appear to be a white color.
Which wavelength is longer ultraviolet or light?
The wavelengths of visible light are longer than ultraviolet wavelengths.
What do humans see different wavelengths of as light?
Different wavelengths of visible light are different colors.
What are the three wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?
There are an infinite number of wavelengths above visible, below visible, and within visible. Since reality has infinite resolution, we can imagine varying the wavelength with infinite division. To call out bands of wavelength: Ultraviolet, X-rays, & Gamma rays.
Does the sun radiate both visible energy and invisible energy?
yes.
