What is Refracting and Reflecting?
Reflection: light bounces off of a surface, like a mirror.Refraction: light goes through a substance and bends. For example, white light through a prism comes out in a rainbow because the light is refracted or bent and each color has a different index of refraction.
Which properties of a substance contribute to its colour?
Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects or materials based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra.
What is reflection and refraction of light?
Reflectivity isn't a property of light, it's a property of the surface that reflects the light. It is the proportion of the energy in an incoming light beam which when it hits the surface is reflected rather than absorbed.
What an object is made of and the color of light that strikes it determine the?
The apparent color of the object.
What color is the Luster of biotite?
Luster is not a color, but a visible characteristic of the mineral's reflection of light off it's surface. In this case, the color of biotite is dark brown to black, but it's luster would be described as vitreous or glassy.
Does color of a mirror affect its reflection of light?
No, the color of a mirror does not affect it's reflection of light.
When reflection happens is there no change to the color of the light?
the color stays the same
What is a reflection made of?
light
How do rainbows get their color?
light refraction etc from the raindrops
Why is sky in red color?
Sky is red in color because of reflection of the red light by the denser layers of the gases in the evenings. The other reason for this is the reflection of the red light by pollutant gases.
What is the relationship between reflection absorption and color?
The color of an object is the frequency/wavelength of the light it reflects. The light it reflects is the light it receives minus the light it absorbs.
Do black and white a color?
No black and white are just the reflection of the light
What color light indicates a reflection of your headlights in an animal's eyes?
Red
What color has the most color?
Technically white. Color is from wavelengths of light being reflected, and white is a reflection of all wavelengths
Does shadow have color?
No. Color is the reflection of light and shadows are areas where light does not reflect off of an object. The dark area you see is the area where light, and there for color, is not present. Simply stated, a shadow does not have color. On a side note: black is not a color, it is the absence of color.
Does your shadow have color?
No. Color is the reflection of light and shadows are areas where light does not reflect off of an object. The dark area you see is the area where light, and there for color, is not present. Simply stated, a shadow does not have color. On a side note: black is not a color, it is the absence of color.
Is color a characteristic property of elements?
Color is due to the reflection of white light. If the light source changes then the apparent color of the element would also change. So my opinion is No.
