If it absorbs all wavelengths then, by definition, it does not reflect any of the incident light. If it reflects all the incident light, then non is absorbed. The solution could also absorb some and reflect some (with different wavelengths).

If a solution reflects white light does it absorb all wavelengths?

No, a solution that reflects white light does not absorb all wavelengths. Instead, it reflects most of the wavelengths within the visible spectrum which combine to form white light.


Do an opaque object reflects the light that it does not absorb?

True or false a solution which reflects white light absorbs all wavelenghts?

It is false that a solution that reflects white light absorbs all wavelengths. A solution that reflects white light reflects all wavelengths.


How much light can the color white absorb?

White does not absorb light - it reflects all visible light waves, while black absorbs all visible light and reflects nothing.


When a solution is red does the solution absorb red light strongly or transmit red light strongly?

When a solution appears red, it absorbs light of complementary colors (green and blue) and transmits or reflects red light. This means that the solution absorbs light in the green and blue portions of the visible spectrum, resulting in the red color that is observed.


Does a spoon absorb light?

Blue doesn't absorb what color?

Blue does not absorb blue light; rather, it reflects blue light, giving it its color.


Why can you see people?

You can see people because light reflects off of them and then hits your retina (rods and cones) and a signal is sent to your brain. Different materials absorb different colors (wave lengths) of light, so that makes the different colors.


What do mirrors and other objects do pertaining to light?

Mirrors and other objects reflect light, though most objects absorb some wave lengths and reflect others and black absorbs all wavelengths and white reflects all wavelengths.


A soultion which reflects white ligt absorbs all wavelengths?

No. If it reflects something, then by definition the solution doesn't absorb it.A solution which reflects white light absorbs NO visible wavelength.does it have to be a liquid? what about natural phosphorus a liquid metal like mercury will be reflective to white light and when light reflects it is not storedOf course not. But that's what the question asked about, so that's what I addressed in the answer.When somebody asks me what time it is, I try not to pin him down while I explain how to build a clock.


Does plastic absorb light?

No, plastic does not absorb light. Instead, it reflects and transmits light, which is why plastic is often used for things like windows or packaging to allow light to pass through.


Does yellow reflect or absorb light?

Yellow reflects light. It appears yellow because it reflects light in the yellow range of the spectrum and absorbs or subtracts other colors.
