How can you have different types of light?
Different wavelengths of light (photons) appear of different colour to our eyes.
What types of electromagnetic radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light?
infrared
Which two types of energy is produce when a light is turn on?
Only one type is produced: Electromagnetic radiation, distributed through the bands of wavelengths that we call light and heat.
How does the electromagnetic spectrum arrange different types of radiation?
Yes. The different types are determined by their wavelength. We have assigned 7 commonly-used names to the different wavelengths (although within each type, you can get more wavelengths, as it is a continuous scale). The names are, from long wavelengths to short: Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light (the one we can see with our eyes), Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma Ways (γ-rays). Ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays are ionizing, which means they can add or remove electrons from atoms, which can change the way they react. This is why they are dangerous. Infrared, microwaves and radio waves are not ionizing. They have longer wavelengths and less energy. Radio waves can have wavelengths of hundreds of meters, and visible light has wavelengths on the order of nanometers.
Is speed a constant for all types of electromagnetic radiation in space?
Yes it is. It's the speed we call the "speed of light", although it applies equally to electromagnetic radiation at all frequencies/wavelengths.
Is the rod sensitive to light?
Rods are sensitive to light and cones are sensitive to the different wavelengths of light. There are different pigments in the three different types of cones to detect red, green, and blue wavelengths of light. (referred to as trichromatic vision)
How many types of crystallization?
They are three types of crysteline forms present. 1)primary unit centered 2)body centered unit centered 3)face centered unit centered
How can you have different types of light?
Different wavelengths of light (photons) appear of different colour to our eyes.
What types of electromagnetic radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light?
infrared
Why does the color of light affect plant growth?
the color of light does affect plants growth because the plant absorbs certain types of wavelengths of light
Why does the colored light affect the plant's growth?
the color of light does affect plants growth because the plant absorbs certain types of wavelengths of light
Can all wavelengths of light travel at the same velocity in certain mediums?
Yes, all wavelengths of light have the same velocity in every medium. In fact, all types of electromagentic radiation travel at the same speed in a given medium.
Why does red and green light make white light?
Usually a blue light has to be added to trick our eyes into seeing white. We have three types of cones in our eyes, each optimally triggers on a color, with reduced sensitivity for other wavelengths / colors. Our eye/brains "fabricate" a color from the three signals, and "white" is the result of this construction.
Which two types of energy is produce when a light is turn on?
Only one type is produced: Electromagnetic radiation, distributed through the bands of wavelengths that we call light and heat.
What is the light called that the retina can detect?
"visible light." it has a shorter wavelength than other light types. "visible light." it has a shorter wavelength than other light types.
Which receptor Cells most directly enable us to distinguish different wavelengths of light?
There are two types, rods for black and white, and cones for colors.
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.
