What else can I help you with?
The scattering of light by colloids and susoenions is called the?
The scattering of light really is called scattering. If you are referring to a scattered reflection this can be called a diffuse reflection. Are you asking about different types of scattering such as Rayleigh scattering? Rayleigh scattering is an elastic type of scattering most well known for the blue color of the sky.
Which sequence show the light-transmitting capabilities of materials from least to most?
Opaque materials do not transmit light at all. Translucent materials partially transmit light, scattering it in the process. Transparent materials allow light to pass through without scattering, making them the most light-transmitting of the three.
What is rayleigh scattering?
Rayleigh scattering is the scattering of light by particles in the atmosphere that are much smaller than the wavelength of the light. This scattering is responsible for the blue color of the sky during the day and the red and orange hues of sunrise and sunset. The shorter wavelengths of light, such as blue and violet, are scattered more easily by the particles in the atmosphere, leading to the sky's blue appearance.
Why is compton effect not observable with visible light?
in compton scattering it is necessary that the energy of the photon should be very much greater than binding energy of electron .. binding energy is equal to work function of metal . in most of metals , the threshold frequency is equal to that of ultravoilet light .that is why we do not observe comption effect with visible light.
Do elements scatter light?
Yes, elements can scatter light. This scattering occurs when light interacts with the electrons in the atoms of the element, causing the light to change direction or be absorbed and re-emitted in different directions. This is the basis for various optical phenomena, such as the color of certain elements and the scattering of sunlight in the Earth's atmosphere.
What is the connection between the frequency wavelength and color of light?
Frequency determines the color of light, with higher frequencies corresponding to colors like blue and lower frequencies corresponding to colors like red. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, meaning shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies and vice versa. In summary, the frequency and wavelength of light determine its color.
What is incoherent scattering?
Incoherent scatteringis a type of scattering phenomenon in physics. The term is most commonly used when referring to the scattering of an electromagnetic wave (usually light or radio frequency) by random fluctuations in a gas of particles (most often electrons).
What gas causes most scattering in Earth's atmosphere?
Rayleigh scattering, which is caused by small particles in the atmosphere being scattered in all directions by incoming sunlight, is responsible for the majority of scattering in Earth's atmosphere. This scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength of light, which is why shorter wavelengths like blue and violet are scattered more than longer wavelengths like red and yellow.
Why does a car get really warm if it is parked in the sun with the windows closed?
Light energy comes into the car at visible light frequencies. The light energy is absorbed by the interior of the vehicle, which gets hot and emits infrared light at frequencies lower than that of most of the incoming light . The infrared light does not penetrate the glass windows as well as the visible light, so heat is trapped in the car.
What frequencies of visible light are transmitted through a piece of glass if the glass appears purple?
If the glass appears purple, it means it is absorbing most of the green, yellow, and red light frequencies. This leaves mainly blue and red light to be transmitted through the glass, giving it a purple appearance.
What happenns when lightstrikes an opaque material?
Opaque materials are colloids. The particles of a colloid are fairly large compared to the surrounding solvent. When light waves strike the particles it deflects them in a different path from the original. This is clled scattering. Because of this scattering, most of the light does not pass thru the solution and the light is reflected back so it appears less clear (opaque).
What color is scattered most efficiently by the sun's rays?
white as its made up of all the colors but you cant tell with out looking through a prism
