How does red and blue light differ from each other?
their wavelenghts are different
An instrument that separates light into various wavelenghts?
spectroscope
Why do photons of white light have different colours?
Photons of light have different colors because they have different energies resulting in different wavelengths. There is no such thing as white light - it is a mixture of all the various wavelengths - red, blue, green, etc. - and we perceive it as white.
The effect in which white light separates into different colors is called?
The splitting of white light into seven different constituent colours is called dispersion
Are the colors of light that objects absorb the colors you see?
No, the colors you see are the colors that are reflected by the object. White light is composed of several different wavelengths of energy, these different energies correspond to different visible colors. When an object absorbs the light, it absorbs its energy, the rest of the energy is reflected from the surface. That energy is what you see in the form of photons (light). So, if an object looks blue to you, that object is absorbing red light.
How does red and blue light differ from each other?
their wavelenghts are different
What do humans see different wavelenghts of light as?
This question is rather loose ended but..Color.
What compounds do many algae have to help them absorb light at different wavelenghts?
accessory pigments.
What difference between the waves that make up bright green light and dim red light?
The frequencies and wavelenghts are different.
Electromagnetic waves with wavelenghts just shorter than those of visible light are called?
ultraviolet
Are rainbows made up of matter?
no they are made up of light waves. they are energy in the form of light, which has been split up into its different wavelenghts and therefore different colours.
An instrument that separates light into various wavelenghts?
spectroscope
What kind of electromagnet light has the longer wavelenghts than the visible light?
Ultraviolet
How is light separated into a spctrum?
With a prism. Light striking the prism is of different wavelenghts. These corrospond to the thickness of the wedge splitting the colors out of the source. They can be put back together with another prism.
Why are lemons yellow scientific answer?
Lemons Are Yellow Because Their Skins Absorb All Wavelenghts Of Visible Light Except For The Wavelenghts Corresponding To The Colour we Know As Yellow.
What is the range of wavelenghts for visible light?
very roughly 350 to 750 nanometers
What color would plants be if they absorbed all wavelenghts of visible light?
black
