Who discovered that color is a direct function of light by passing sunlight through a prism and observing the bands of spectrum of colors?
Isaac Newton
Distance measurements based on the speed of light?
Light Year
What happens to light of a certain frequency that encounters atoms of the same resonant frequency?
It would be absorbed by the atoms, and it would boost electrons to higher energy states, or kick them out of the atoms entirely. That's called the "photoelectric effect". Einstein got his first Nobel Prize for explaining it in a paper he published in 1907.
When is the traffic light invented?
The very first traffic light was a revolving gas lantern with red and green lights installed in a London intersection in 1868, before the advent of automobiles. A later version of the traffic light based on railroad signals was installed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1920.
How light is reflected and refracted in a diamond?
Light is reflected and refracted in a diamond based on the angles of its facets relative to the source of the light.
Velocity of light was first measured by?
By Roemer, observing the moons of Jupiter.
When did scientists attempt to measure the speed of light?
Are you asking when the speed of light was first estimated, or are you asking when the speed of light was first actually measured?
Who was The first person to prove that light did not travel at infinite speed?
Olaus Rømer, by observing the movement of Jupiter's moons.
What is the best obsevation of refration of light?
The best observation of refraction of light is by observing objects that are in water. By observing objects that are in water, the objects usually appear as if they are not straight.
How do you measure star distances?
In Light Years with mathematics and some logical estimation.
Which light source in a dissecting microscope is preferred while observing ridges on the finger?
light source
You are observing a star about 100 light years away how old is the most recent information you can get aboutthis star?
if you are observing a star 100 light years away, you are looking at it as it was 100 years ago.
What must be done there is too much light that illuminates the specimen you are observing under the microscope?
Turn down the light.
What are Three factors that affect range estimation?
nature of target, nature of terrain, and light conditions
How do you use the word spectroscope in a sentence?
A spectroscope in an instrument for observing a spectrum of light.
The problems associates with observing the universe using the light telescopes in the UK?
go to africa
What are variables used to classify stars?
The first variable that is used to classify stars is its ionization state which can measure the photosphere's temperature and density. This information is gathered by splitting the light from a star with a prism and observing the resulting spectrum that includes absorption lines. Luminosity is another variable used; it is based on the width of absorption lines.
