Why are sunsets red purple blue color's wavelengths?
because of how the sun looks through the atmosphere when your looking at it straight on
Why cant all the wavelengths enter the earth's atmosphere?
The atmosphere absorbs the electromagnetic solar radiation.
Why does an apple look red to the human eye?
The color red, whether in an apple or anywhere else, corresponds to a certain range of wavelengths of light, which are the longer wavelengths of the visible spectrum. Blue is composed of the shorter wavelengths.
What color are longest wavelength?
The longest visible wavelengths are red,
Why do some stars appear red?
generally speaking things appears the colors that they do because of two things, the way our eyes and brain perceive them and the way the object absorbs and reflects different wavelengths of the light spectrum. our minds interpret the light spectrum as the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue indigo and violet and any combination of these colors. when light strikes an object, the object absorbs and reflects light waves, for instance if an object appears red to you, it's because the surface of the object absorbs all the other light wavelengths except red, which bounces back to our eye and causes the object to appear red. strangely enough, when all colors of the light spectrum are bounced back to us, we perceive the object to be white and when none of the colors are reflected, we perceive the object to be black!
Chlorophyll absorbs which color of light?
red and purple
Which has more energy purple or red?
Purple has a higher energy than red. Purple also has shorter wavelengths that emit a higher intensity compared to red that has longer wavelengths that emit a lower intensity.
When a continuous spectrum of light passes through a red filter the red absorbs the red wavelengths true or fasle?
No, the red absorbs all the colors in the light exceptred.
If an object absorbs all wavelengths of light except red what color will it appear?
The object will be red, due to the red light of the spectrum being reflected.
Why does an apple look red according to the visible light spectrum?
Because the skin of the apple absorbs all wavelengths of visible light EXCEPT red,so the red is the only one left to bounce off of the apple toward your eye.If there's no red wavelengths in the light that hits the apple, then it absorbs ALL ofthe light hitting it, and it appears black to you.
What wavelength of light does chlorophyll a reflect?
There are 2 different types of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll "a" absorbs light in the violet and red regions of the visible spectrum while chlorophyll "b" absorbs light in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum.
If a painted wall reflects light with wavelengths 600 to 700 nm but absorbs light with wavelengths 400 to 500 nm what color is it?
It will be a dark red solution- like liquid bromine
What happen when light pass through red glass?
All wavelengths of other colors of visible light are absorbed, only the wavelengths of red light will pass thru the glass.
What wavelengths does carotene absorb?
Carotenoids reflect yellow-orange light and absorb blue-green light.
Why are sunsets red purple blue color's wavelengths?
because of how the sun looks through the atmosphere when your looking at it straight on
Red and blue light support the highest rates of photosynthesis because?
The rate of photosynthesis is maximum in blue light because the chlorophyll absorbs more light in the range of 400-500 nm wavelength. In addition, chlorophyll also absorbs light in the red region.
A molecule that contains atoms enabling it to reflect light is called a pigment?
A molecule that contains atoms enabling it to reflect light is called a pigment.
