A plant whose leaves are reddish yellow is NOT absorbing light from which wavelengths of the visible light spectrum?
Red and yellow
What is the name of a very rare type of lightning that appears as a reddish colored sphere is called?
A+ Ball Lightening.
What color is Phobos?
The color of Phobos is only based on telescopic images of it. To most, it appears to be a reddish-tan color.
Why is Mars called the red plants?
Mars is called the red planet because its surface appears reddish in color due to the presence of iron oxide, or rust, on its surface. The iron oxide gives the planet a reddish hue when viewed from Earth.
The leaves of this plant appear to be reddish yellow What wavelengths of visible light are being absorbed by this pigment?
Red and yellow, of course. The light you see is being transmitted and not absorbed.
Why the color of the sky is reddish in evening?
Because the sun must pass through a much thicker layer of the atmosphere. Doing so results in a higher chance that its radiation will be scattered. Ultimately, all the longest wavelengths of radiation get scattered while only the red ones remain.
Why is water greenish blue?
Because it absorbs the longer reddish wavelengths. Links: http://www.whyiswaterblue.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_water http://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/5B.html
What processes produce the difference colors we see in opaque objects?
Different materials absorb different wavelengths of visible radiation from sources like the sun or light bulbs. The wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected as visible radiation, and the color we see depends on the wavelength of that reflected light, with a longer wavelength correlating to more reddish colors, and shorter wavelengths with more bluish colors. White objects reflect all of the visible radiation that strike them, which is why they absorb less heat than black objects, which reflect much less visible radiation.

Why does mars not have as many craters as the moon and mercury why does its sky appears reddish?
Because Mars has an atmosphere. The Moon and Mercury do not.
What is the appearance of rust?
rust appears as a reddish brown powder

Red and yellow
How do Visible light waves with longer wavelengths look?
The light with the longest wavelength, which is still visible for us, is red light.

What is A very rare type of lightning that appears as a reddish-colored sphere?
"ball lightning"
Why does the moon appear yellowish after sunset?
It doesn't, so "why" is a moot point. The moon may appear yellowish or even reddish when it's near the horizon, for the same reason the Sun does: the light has to travel through more atmosphere, which means the shorter (blue and violet) wavelengths have more opportunity to get scattered out. The longer wavelengths that don't get scattered but reach your eye directly give the sun or moon that yellowish or reddish cast. The color the moon appears to be is affected almost solely by its position; whether the sun is rising, setting, or on the opposite side of the world has essentially nothing to do with it.
