What happens to the energy in the wavelengths of light that are not reflected?
they are absorbed
What determines the color of a transparent or translucent object?
It depends upon what wavelengths of light are absorbed, and which wavelengths are transmitted.
What instrument will measure the wavelengths of light absorbed by a solution?
Google a Spectrophotometer
When light strikes a transparent material most of the light is absorbed or reflected?
AnswerWhite light is a mixture of all of the visible wavelengths in the spectrum. When white light strikes any object, some, all, or none is reflected off it and the balance of the light spectrum is absorbed. For example a baseball essentially reflects ALL of the wavelengths striking it, absorbing none. While a black-colored racquetball absorbs ALL of the wavelengths, reflecting none. Objects that are colorized, absorb certain wavelengths, and reflect others. For example, a yellow ball absorbs the red and blue portions of the spectrum and reflects the yellow. Red colored objects reflect the blue and yellow portions of the spectrum and reflect the red. The primary colors of pigment are magenta, cyan, and yellow. This color mixing principle is called "subtractive".
When a pigment reflects the red light what happens?
Answer #1:red light is reflected, all others are absorbed===========================Answer #2:The pigment, and anything it is shmeared on, appears red to the eye.
What wavelengths of visible light are not being absorbed by red and yellow pigment?
red and yellow
Light of the green wavelengths is commonly absorbed by which accessory pigment?
Carotenoids and chlorophyll b absorb some of the energy in the green wavelength.
The leaves of this plant appear to be reddish yellow What wavelengths of visible light are being absorbed by this pigment?
Red and yellow, of course. The light you see is being transmitted and not absorbed.
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.
What is meant by the absorption spectrum of a pigment?
The absorption spectrum of pigment is the molecules response to light. The color of the pigment depends on the wavelengths of light the do not absorb.
What happens to the wavelengths of light that penetrate into the ocean?
they are absorbed
What happens to the energy in the wavelengths of light that are not reflected?
they are absorbed
True or false When light hits a plant all of the wavelengths of light are absorbed by chlorophyll?
No. There are only certain wavelengths of light that plants can use for photosynthesis.Plants have trouble using green light because it is reflected by the chlorophyll pigment (that is why leaves look green).
A pigment that transmits all wavelengths of visible light appears?
transparent
What determines the color of a transparent or translucent object?
It depends upon what wavelengths of light are absorbed, and which wavelengths are transmitted.
What color light is produced if all wavelengths are absorbed?
That would be black.
What instrument will measure the wavelengths of light absorbed by a solution?
Google a Spectrophotometer
