What property of the ink was used to separate the colours?

The process is called chromatography. The property is the attraction of pigments to a liquid or solution (such as water) and its ability to dissolve in the solution. In paper chromatography, a pigment that dissolves easily in water will travel farther up the paper as opposed to an oil, that does not dissolve in water.


How is chromatography used to study plant pigment?

chromatography is basically a technique used for the separation of different components.... plant pigment consist of different components..... the sample is taken nd spotted over a chromatography paper..... nd den it is kept in suitable solvent to get separated...... different components travel different distance on chromatogram.... dis is how v cn use chromatography to study plant pigments...


What are the relations with pigment and chromatography?

the more soluble the plant pigment is with the chromatography solvent, the farther it will travel up the chromatography paper


Which color pigment will travel the farthest?

In a perfect vacuum, all wavelengths travel the same distance. In atmosphere, longer wavelengths (red) travel further than shorter wavelengths (blue) due to a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. That is why the sky is blue, and the setting sun is red. Similarly, in interstellar space (when we view light from distant stars), shorter wavelengths (blue) do not travel as far as longer wavelengths (red) due to a phenomenon called interstellar extinction. See the Related Links below for Wikipedia articles on Rayleigh scattering and interstellar extinction.
