Water vapor and carbon dioxide are two compounds that absorb infrared light. Water vapor absorbs infrared radiation specifically in the 5-7 μm and 2.7-4.2 μm wavelengths, while carbon dioxide absorbs in the 13-17 μm range.

What is the most common color of compounds of Mn2?

Compounds of Mn2 typically exhibit a pink color in their compounds. This color is due to the presence of manganese in its +2 oxidation state, which absorbs light in the green part of the spectrum, resulting in a pink hue.

Why do dark colors absorb heat and radiation than light colors?

When we see objects, we see them due to light being reflected off the object into our eyes. The light that is reflected back gives us the image.Dark colours appear dark because they reflect less light. Light colours reflect more which is why they appear brighter.Because they reflect less, the light that they don't reflect is absorbed into the material.Light causes heat.This is why you shouldn't wear black in summer because you'll get too hot, astronauts wear silver/white suits because the sun would fry them, and polar bears have black skin under their white fur so that they stay warm in the snow.AnswerThis is a very complex subject. A simplified answer is the more reflective a surface is, the less it will absorb the light rays that generate heat (infared radiation). Something white, like copyier paper, usually around 87 to 90 brightness, reflects 87 to 90% of incoming light. Therefore it won't heat up as fast as something like black paper used in art class etc. The black paper reflects 2 to 5%. The difference turns into heat energy.

What makes darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors?

White light is a mixture of colors. When white light strikes a dark object little or no energy is reflected. When white light strikes a white object the energy is mostly reflected, not absorbed. Thus heat is absorbed by dark objects and reflected by light ones.

What colored light will make a plant grow fast?

Plants appear green- this is because they absorb red and blue light- these wavelengths of light are harnessed by two 'photosystems' called 1 & 2 - there fore to make a plant grow well use a combination of red and blue light


What are 2 ways in which compounds form?

What determines how well light passes through an object?

1. The configuration of the atoms or molecules in the medium 2. The composition of the atoms or molecules (the configuration of their orbitals, which determines what frequencies of light they can absorb) 3. Magnitude of the vibration of the atoms or molecules in the medium
