Now your conceptions are wrong and right at the same time. Colors can change when a part of the light spectrum is absorbed by an element which the element itself releases. But when light waves interact with one another something else happens. They superpose each other by either being constructive or destructive. This leads to formation of light and dark fringes in the light and is known as interference.
What else can I help you with?
What does light absorption require the presence of?
Light absorption requires the presence of a material that is capable of absorbing light energy. This material typically contains atoms or molecules that can undergo a transition of electron energy levels when exposed to light, resulting in the absorption of photons.
Why does temperature change because of color?
because dark colours absorb light and light colours reflect light
What do filters do to change colours of an object?
Filters selectively absorb certain colors of light while allowing others to pass through. This selective absorption alters the color composition of the light that reaches an object, causing it to appear differently colored.
What interaction of light with matter cause light to change?
Reflection, refraction, absorption.
Can you make a ray of light of black color?
No - because the colour black is only generated by the absorption of all other colours.
Why do light colored objects feel cooler than dark colored objects?
Light-colored objects reflect more light and heat away from their surface, resulting in less heat absorption. Dark-colored objects absorb more light and heat, leading to a warmer sensation when touched. This difference in heat absorption and reflection influences how the objects feel to the touch.
Why is sun attracted to dark colors?
The sun is not "attracted" to dark colours. Dark colours simply absorb energy more efficiently than light colours. Light colours reflect the energy away, so they don't heat up the way that dark colours do. To say that dark colours "attract" the sun is simply an incorrect way of saying it.
Light absorption requires the presence of?
molecules or particles that can absorb photons of light. These molecules have electrons that can be excited by the incoming photons, leading to the absorption of light. Without such molecules or particles, light would simply pass through without being absorbed.
What type of colours reflect all of the colors of light?
White reflects all the colours/wavelengths of light. Oppositely black would absorb all light. Hence you don't see light from a black object, you recognize the contrast between it and its surroundings. Any colours would be a mixture of absorption and reflection. If an object is transparent it reflects no(or close to as little as possible) light. Just an explanation based on science classes. -Jess
Does the frequency of light change when it is reflected?
No, the frequency of light does not change when it is reflected. Reflection is a process where light waves bounce off a surface, but the frequency remains constant. However, the direction and intensity of the reflected light may be altered.
What is the transfer of light energy to particles of matter called?
The transfer of light energy to particles of matter is called absorption. When light interacts with matter, the energy from the light is absorbed by the particles, causing them to gain energy and potentially change their properties.
Differentiate absorption method from colorimetric method?
Absorption method measures the amount of light absorbed by a sample at a specific wavelength, and is used to quantify the concentration of a substance. Colorimetric method utilizes color changes to detect the presence or concentration of a substance, often involving a chemical reaction that produces a color change.
