Polution and sky color?
the different gasses cause the light to turn intodifferent dirrections (the reflection goes in different direction because of the different elements) and it is connected with the polarization of the light
What is atomic power?
It is the release of the binding force (strong force) by combining light elements OR splitting heavy elements. (Iron is the "ash"; least binding force per nucleon.)
Why is silk so desired?
its a natural fibre ,its not grown its made ....soz if this doesnt help but dats it mate ;)
Why do you see white light?
White light is a mixture of different frequencies, that are within the range of light our eyes can see.
When light is reflected or refracted it does what?
It bounces in a different direction
What is an everyday example of a colorful light emissions?
You can observe colorful light emission in fireworks and in different sorts of chemicals as in Lithium it turns green when heated.
How do neon lights produce colorful light?
Gases in them are heated into high temperatures.
What is an ionization nebula?
a colorful cloud of gas that glows because it is heated by light from nearby hot stars
Why are Rocks so Colorful?
Different mineral compounds reflect light differently which creates the many different colored rocks you see.
How do they know what planets are made of?
Light Spectrum Analysis. Different elements reflect different wavelengths of light. Simply put if you look at th different colors of light that is reflected from something you can determine the basic elements it is composed of.
Do all heated elements give off light in the visible spectrum?
no it depends on the energy level the electrons are jumping down to
Why will the current flow be different in a heated rear screen circuit than a side light circuit?
the heated rear screen circuit has a higher resistance compared to the side light circuit
What are facts about kaleidoscopes?
They are pretty, colorful, you turn them - they make different shapes when pointed to the light through your eyeball. The end.
What is a colorful rock?
they are light colors :))
What are colorful light emissions?
chemiluminscence
Can scientists analize the elements of a star?
Scientists can assess which elements are present in the star, by looking at the light it gives off and breaking this light down into the different colours that make up the total colour. They look at the spectrum given off. The different elements present in the star cause different light wavelengths (or colours) to be emitted.
Why do crystals make everything look colorful when you look in to it?
It's because different colours of light traverse at different speeds, when they're all traversing at the same speed the light colour is, 'transparent' light traverses at different speeds through crystals / glass due to refraction.
