What is the difference between light and reflected light?
Source light is light coming directly from a light source/emitter (i.e. a light bulb, the sun, stars, etc.). Reflected light is light coming indirectly from the light source/emitter. That could be reflected, refracted light, etc.
Can a spectrum only be made by using paints?
No, a spectrum cannot be created solely using paints. A spectrum is typically produced by dispersing light, such as through a prism or diffraction grating, which separates light into its component colors based on wavelength. While paints can be used to create visual representations or artistic interpretations of a spectrum, they do not generate a true spectrum of light on their own.
What colors are not found in the light spectrum?
Fartolongogist
What is the difference between the primary colors of light and primary colors of paint?
The three primary colours in painting are Red, Yellow & Blue. The secondary colours are the result of a mixture of two of the primary colours: Red & Blue - Purple; Red & Yellow - Orange; and Blue & Yellow - Green.
What does the eye see when light is reflected off of an object?
an image
Explain the difference between the continuous spectrum of white light and the atomic emission spectrum of an element?
The difference between continuous spectrum and the atomic emission espectrum of an element is that in emission spectrum, only certain specific frequencies of light are emitted while in a continuous spectrum, a continuous range of colors are seen in the visible light.
What is a characteristic that depends on which parts of the visible light spectrum are reflected from a mineral?
Color is a characteristic that depends on which parts of the visible light spectrum are reflected from a mineral. Different minerals absorb and reflect certain wavelengths of light, resulting in the colors we observe.
This element refers to the wavelength of reflected light?
Color
What element is derived from the Latin word aurora?
Light?
What wavelength of light is reflected form red shirt?
A red shirt reflects light mostly in the range of 620-750 nanometers, which corresponds to the red portion of the visible light spectrum. This wavelength is absorbed by the shirt's dye, while the rest of the light spectrum is reflected, giving the shirt its red color.
What does green stuff and brown stuff mean in science?
Green means that the object in question absorbs all of the light in the visible spectrum except for green which is reflected. Brown means that the object in question absorbs all of the light in the visible spectrum except for brown which is reflected.
What color is formed when all the colors are reflected?
White light is formed when all colors are reflected off an object. This is because white light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
Why would the absorption spectrum of each element have lines in the same places as in its emission spectrum?
The absorption spectrum of an element have lines in the same places as in its emission spectrum because each line in the emission spectrum corresponds to a specific transition of electrons between energy levels. When light is absorbed by the element, electrons move from lower energy levels to higher ones, creating the same lines in the absorption spectrum as the emission spectrum. The frequencies of light absorbed and emitted are the same for a specific element, resulting in matching lines.
What happens to the light waves when it goes through a spectrum?
When light goes through a spectrum, the waves are split into different colors, or spectra. The colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. That way, you can distinguish what type of light or element is is by counting the number of each type of color.
If light reflects off an object what determines the color?
When light hits an object, some of the light spectrum is absorbed and some is reflected. The colour you see is the reflected light. The rest is absorbed. For example a red T shirt will absorb all the colours in the light spectrum a nd reflect red. Black absorbes all light and reflects non hence darkness and white is the reflection of the full spectrum. Orange is a blended reflection of Yellow and red.
What color is absorbed by a green leaf?
A green leaf absorbs most colors in the visible spectrum except for green light, which is reflected. This reflected green light is what gives the leaf its green color.
What happens to the white light when a beam of white light shines on an object that appears to be bright red?
The object absorbs most colors in the white light spectrum except for red, which is reflected. This reflected red light is what we perceive with our eyes as the object's color.
