Why are things the color they are?
example: You walk past a car that is blue. The car is absorbing green and red, but it is reflecting blue into our eyes.Believe it or not there is no such thing as colour! The colors of the rainbow hit things and these things absorb some colour and reflect others except for black and white, black absorbs all the colour's and white reflects it all. You can only see the colours that are reflected.If a man came to your house while you were Waring a white blouse and closed the blinds so not light will come in then change all the light bulbs to only shine red everything in the room would be black except for your blouse which will be seen as red.Cool huh?
Why do some balls bounce more than others?
they consist of a lighter material
Transparent object that allows one or more colors through but absorbs others is?
stained glass
When light strikes a transparent material most of the light is absorbed or reflected?
AnswerWhite light is a mixture of all of the visible wavelengths in the spectrum. When white light strikes any object, some, all, or none is reflected off it and the balance of the light spectrum is absorbed. For example a baseball essentially reflects ALL of the wavelengths striking it, absorbing none. While a black-colored racquetball absorbs ALL of the wavelengths, reflecting none. Objects that are colorized, absorb certain wavelengths, and reflect others. For example, a yellow ball absorbs the red and blue portions of the spectrum and reflects the yellow. Red colored objects reflect the blue and yellow portions of the spectrum and reflect the red. The primary colors of pigment are magenta, cyan, and yellow. This color mixing principle is called "subtractive".
Why does water reflect images upside down?
All reflections result in inversions. The only difference is some are lateral (left to right) an others are vertical. Which one it is depends on the positions of the viewer and the reflecting surface.
The material that gives paint its color by absorbing some colors of light and reflecting others?
More or less yes, basically the red paint absorbs all of the colours of light except for the red light which is reflected. It is this reflected red light which we see.
What is the material that gives paint its color by absorbing some colors of light and reflecting others?
This is the pigment of the paint. The pigment is struck by photons of light and the electrons are excited to a higher energy level. When the fall back towards their resting state they emit a photon of light at a certain wave length that is the color your retinas perceive.
How does a pigment give a substance color?
by asorbing some colors of light and reflecting others
What gives clouds their colour?
Color is an interesting thing. What we think of as white light is actually made up of all the colors of light mixed together. This is what you are seeing when you view a rainbow. The water drops have split the sunlight apart into the full spectrum. Consider that when you see anything, light is reflecting off that object and entering your eye. Things appear to be certain colors because they absorb some colors and reflect others. A shirt that we see as blue is reflecting the blue light and absorbing the reds and yellows. So, as light comes through clouds and reflects off clouds some colors are absorbed and others are reflected. It depends mostly on how much liquid they contain; how dense they are. It can also be affected by the clouds temperature.
What is a colored material that abosrbs some colors but reflects others?
Sounds like everything you can see.
Do all phat pants reflect?
No, only some phatts have reflecting material professionally sewn on them. Others are just made out of the same stretchy material with a plain logo on them, or in some cases nothing at all.
What is difference between chromophore and auxochrome?
Chromophores are responsible for giving dyes their color by absorbing certain wavelengths of visible light and transmitting or reflecting others.Auxochromes modify the ability of a chromophore to absorb light. They often result in the deepening and intensifying of the color of compounds
What is a color filter and how does it work?
Color filters transmit visible wavelengths of light. Different colors respond to different wavelengths of light. Some filters work by absorbing light, while others reflect.
Why red apple red?
We see colour because light is made up different wavelengths. Objects absorb certain wavelengths of light while reflecting others. An apple appears to be red because it reflects the red wavelength while absorbing all the other colours.
What is necessary when publishing others' material on the Internet?
To upload others' material, you need their permission.
What are the materials that absorb sound waves except for sponges?
It is likely true that absolutely everything is capable of absorbing sound waves; if there are materials that cannot, they would be special indeed. Some materials are much better than others, but even the materials that are most resistant would be absorbing small amounts of energy from sound waves, assuming that the material is in a medium (like air) capable of transporting sound.
Can the rainbow change colors?
No. All the colors that the eye can see are there, so there are no others to change to.
