What else can I help you with?
What objects block light?
Objects such as walls, doors, and curtains can block light, while transparent or translucent objects like glass or plastic allow light to pass through. Light is also blocked by opaque objects that are thick enough to prevent light from passing through, such as metal sheets or concrete walls.
What happen to a molecule when it absorbs uv light?
When it absorbs UV light, it decomposes. It also replenishes it.
When white light strikes an black object?
The black object absorbs most of the light energy and converts it into heat, which is why black objects feel warmer in sunlight. The object also reflects some light, but because it absorbs most of the light across all visible wavelengths, it appears black to our eyes.
Do chlorophyll absorbs red light?
yes also blue light rays
What happens to light when shone on a black paper?
Anything perfectly black appears black because it absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum instead of reflecting them like white paper, so the light energy is absorbed and transfered into heat energy (the paper warms up very slightly).
How does the light behave on each object?
Light interacts with objects in different ways depending on their properties. Transparent objects allow light to pass through them, while opaque objects block light from passing through. Reflective objects bounce light off their surface, while refractive objects bend and change the direction of light as it passes through. The color and material of an object also affect how it interacts with light.
What stops light from passing?
Light can be stopped or absorbed by opaque objects that do not allow it to pass through. This could include materials like walls, metals, or dense objects that block the transmission of light. Additionally, light can also be scattered or refracted when it encounters a medium with a different optical density, which can alter its path.
What colour absorbs the most light?
A black non-shiny surface will capture more light. It is also the kind of surface which does not reflect the light which it has caught. Such a surface is also excellent at absorbing heat. It is the lighter colours and the shinier surfaces which reflect light. This makes one wonder why women in some hot countries, such as those in the northern parts of Africa wear black material which almost covers all of their body's surface.
Does red absorb more heat than blue?
Yes, red absorbs more heat than blue because it absorbs a wider range of wavelengths in the visible spectrum. This means that red objects will heat up more when exposed to sunlight compared to blue objects, which reflect more light.
What causes rays and shadows in sunlight?
Rays and shadows in sunlight are caused by the way light travels in straight lines from the source (the sun) to objects. Rays are the paths that light takes, while shadows are formed when objects block these rays, preventing light from reaching a certain area. The angle at which light hits an object also affects the length and direction of the shadow.
What do light absorb 10 things?
Light can be absorbed by opaque objects, such as walls or clothing, which convert the light energy into heat. It can also be absorbed by certain materials, like plants during photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy. Additionally, light can be absorbed by pigments in paints or dyes, where the color absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others.
Describe why you see some objects as black and white?
Objects are coloured because they absorb certain frequencies and absorb others. For example a green object has absorbed red light and what was left, the green light, and so on. A white object reflects all the frequencies (colors), a black one absorbs all.
