Consider the mesh of matter and the wavelength of the light. In general the following is the pattern. TRANSMISSION:If the matter mesh is bigger than than the the wavelength of light there is transmission, e.g X-Rays thru matter. ABSORPTION: If the mesh is equal to the wavelength, there is absorption, e.g sunburn. REFLECTION:If the mesh is smaller than the wavelength, there is reflection, e.g Mesh screen antennas.
What else can I help you with?
Why do my eyes perceive different colors?
Your eyes perceive different colors because of the way light is absorbed and reflected by objects. Different colors are created by the varying wavelengths of light that are absorbed and reflected by the objects you see. Your eyes then interpret these different wavelengths as different colors.
When red ink is illumined by blue light is most of the light absorbed or reflected?
Absorbed. Your red ink will look black. "Red" is a long wave-length color. "Blue" is a short one. What looks red in white light is a pigment that reflects red. It won't reflect blue, so it will look dark.
Does chlorophyll absorb or transmit green light?
Chlorophyll primarily absorbs red and blue light, while green light is not as readily absorbed and is often reflected or transmitted. This is why plants appear green to our eyes, as the green light is not absorbed but instead reflected, giving leaves their characteristic color.
Is it the light absorbed or light reflected that initiates the light reactions of photosynthesis?
The light absorbed by chlorophyll initiates the light reactions of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll molecules in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy, which is used to drive the conversion of water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates during photosynthesis.
Why do veins look blue?
Veins appear blue because of the way light interacts with the skin. When light passes through the skin, it is absorbed by the tissues and reflected back to our eyes. The blue color of veins is due to the way light is absorbed and scattered by the skin, making them appear blue to our eyes.
Can light reflect and absorb and transmit all at the same time?
Yes, light can be reflected, absorbed, and transmitted simultaneously. When light encounters a medium, some of it is reflected back, some is absorbed by the medium, and some is transmitted through it. The amount of light that is reflected, absorbed, and transmitted depends on the properties of the material it interacts with.
How does visible light interact with an object?
Visible light interacts with an object by either being absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The color of the object is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected off its surface. When light is absorbed, it can cause the object to heat up. Transmitted light passes through the object without being absorbed or reflected.
How do you explain how light can be reflected refracted transmitted or absorbed?
Light can be reflected when it bounces off a surface, refracted when it changes direction while passing through a different medium, transmitted when it passes through a material without being absorbed, and absorbed when its energy is taken in by a material, converting it into other forms of energy such as heat.
What will happen to light that are not absorb?
Light that is not absorbed is either reflected, refracted, or transmitted.
What happens to light energy that is not absorbed by a material?
Light energy that is not absorbed by a material is typically reflected, transmitted, or scattered.
What happens to the energy in the wavelengths of light that are not reflected?
The energy in the wavelengths of light that are not reflected is typically absorbed by the object or surface (resulting in an increase in its temperature) or transmitted through it. In the case of transmission, the light energy can pass through the material and potentially be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted again by other materials it encounters.
If the energy from the light is captured and stored by the surface without being reflected or transmitted then it has been?
Absorbed
If the energy from the light is captured and stored by the surface without being reflected or transmitted then it has been .?
Absorbed
What is Light that passes through the leaf without being absorbed or reflected is called?
Transmitted light.
What happens when light soaks into an object?
When light soaks into an object, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. The specific interaction depends on the properties of the object such as its color and material. Absorbed light is converted into heat energy, reflected light is bounced back, and transmitted light passes through the object.
What Light waves can be absorbed reflected or transmitted when they strike an object?
Depending on the material and its properties, light waves can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted when they strike an object. The specific outcome is determined by factors such as the object's color, texture, density, and transparency.
When light hits an object it may be?
transmitted, absorbed, reflected, or some combination of these processes
