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.
Is there such thing as light energy?
there is such thing as light energy we all us light DOH
Are UV light and UV rays the same thing?
Yes, UV light and UV rays are the same thing, light emit "rays."
Is material transparent if 97 percent of light passes through it?
Technically, transparency is not an on or off (yes or no) thing. There is a degree of transparency and one quantifies this by saying how much (and at what wavelengths) light is transmitted through a medium. Nonetheless, in daily language people say something is transparent when most of the light passes through and a transmission of far lesss than 97 percent falls into that category. Similarly, people use the term opaque when most of the light does not pass through a material but that usually means no detectable light or a very small fraction of light passes through.

What happens when light has higher frequency?
Light, or any kind of wave thing, has shorter wavelengths when its frequency is higher than it has when its frequency is lower.
Why gamma rays travel as fast as the speed of light?
Because gamma rays are exactly the same thing that light is, only with shorter wavelengths.
Are eagles able to see gamma ray light wavelengths?
No living thing can "see" (or otherwise sense) gamma rays.
Is there such a thing as a perfectly white light?
No. White light is a mixture of various colors.
How does paper selection affect color?
Ink doesn't create its color the way paint does. Paint is opaque. Light hits the surface of the paint film, the wavelengths of light that don't correspond to the color your thing is are absorbed. Ink that isn't black is transparent. Really it is. Light passes through it and strikes the paper surface. The paper absorbs certain wavelengths of light. Then the light passes back through the ink film where the wavelengths not needed for the color of ink are absorbed. A cream-color paper will absorb different wavelengths than a blue-white paper.
What is this thing called iras?
The Infrared Astronomical Satellite was the first-ever space-based observatory to perform a survey of the entire sky at infrared wavelengths. It uses infrared light.
What is a speed of a vacuum of wavelenths?
There cannot be any such thing as a vacuum of wavelengths!
Orange warning light with lines either side on vauxhall vectra?
most probaily( breaks ) some thing to do with worn pads or discs
Does the color of a laser affect the velocity of the light wave projected by the laser?
ummm, no. that's probably the dumbest thing Ive ever heard.Lasers use light rays of set wavelengths so I guess your answer is the dumbest answer I've ever heard.
When green light is absorbed at 525 NM what is seen?
That depends on what other wavelengths of light are present. You see whatever is left, after the 525-nm green is subtracted from it. If 525-nm green is the only thing there was to begin with, then nothing (black) is seen.
What is difference between light rays and white light ray?
There's no such thing as a "white light ray". Every ray of visible light appears toyour eye as some color, depending on its wavelength. When several light rays, withdifferent wavelengths (different colors) and just the right combination of intensities,enter your eye together, you perceive the combination as 'white'.
