What else can I help you with?
Is it true or false that the separation of white light into its component colors produces what is called a mixture?
False. The separation of white light into its component colors does not produce a mixture. It produces a spectrum of colors, known as a rainbow or a spectrum.
Is the following true or false the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represents a large portion of the spectrum?
False
The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represents a large portion of the spectrum true or false?
True. The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represents a specific range of wavelengths that can be detected by the human eye, making up a significant portion of the overall electromagnetic spectrum.
Is it true or false that only portions of visible light can be taken up by chlorophyll?
True, obviously the green part of the spectrum is not used which is why chlorophyll looks green when illuminated with white light.
Is it true or false that humans can only see a small range of light?
True. Humans can only see a small range of light called the visible spectrum, which includes wavelengths from about 400 to 700 nanometers. This limited range is why we cannot see ultraviolet or infrared light, which falls outside of our visual spectrum.
You can see all the energy given off the sun with your eyes true or false?
False. While our eyes can perceive sunlight in the visible spectrum, the Sun emits energy in a wide range of wavelengths, including ultraviolet and infrared light, which are not visible to the human eye.
True or false When light hits a plant all of the wavelengths of light are absorbed by chlorophyll?
No. There are only certain wavelengths of light that plants can use for photosynthesis.Plants have trouble using green light because it is reflected by the chlorophyll pigment (that is why leaves look green).
Is it true that the wavelengths of light most effective in photosynthesis are those in the green part of the visible spectrum?
No
True or False When a prism refracts light it separates out the various colors based on their wavelength?
True. When a prism refracts light, it causes the different colors of light to bend by different amounts due to their different wavelengths. This bending effect, known as dispersion, results in the separation of the colors of light creating a spectrum.
True or false visibe light with the shortest wavelength is red light?
No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).
Is this true or false that visible light with the shortest wavelengths are red and orange light?
False. Visible light with the shortest wavelengths corresponds to violet and blue light, not red and orange. The visible spectrum ranges from approximately 380 nanometers (violet) to about 750 nanometers (red), with red light having the longest wavelengths.
When light strikes a transparent material most of the light is reflected true or false?
False. When light strikes a transparent material, some of the light is reflected, but much of it is also transmitted through the material. The amount of reflection depends on the refractive index of the material.
