What colors are absorbed by the color green?

The color green absorbs most colors of light except green. Specifically, it absorbs red, blue, and violet wavelengths effectively, while reflecting green light. This reflection is what makes green objects appear green to our eyes, as the green wavelength dominates the reflected spectrum. visit our website: www. 3dcrystal .in/blog/


Relationship between color and lambda max?

We can see color in the visible region of the spectrum (400-700 nanometers). If the light absorbed by something is visible, this absorption results in the COMPLIMENT of that color being seen by the human eye. For instance: if the wavelength is 400-424 nanometers, purple is absorbed, and the compliment (opposite) of it is yellow, so you see something that absorbs wavelengths 400-424 nanometers as YELLOW. When you plot value of light absorbed (Y-axis) vs. Wavelength of incident light (X-axis), lambda max is the tallest peak on the graph, explained: let's say that highest peak is at wavelength of 532, this means that most of the light absorbed is of wavelength=532 nanometers, which is green... the complimentary color to green is red... therefore, your eye will see red, not green.

white and something else


How can you tell if a green powder is a compound or mixture?

A green powder is likely a mixture if it is composed of different substances that can be physically separated. If the powder has a uniform composition and cannot be separated into different components by physical means, it is likely a compound. Chemical analysis and tests can also help determine if the green powder is a compound or mixture.


What Colours absorb the red surface?

Blue and green are colors that absorb red light. This means that objects with a blue or green surface will appear to absorb red light and reflect the remaining visible wavelengths.

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.


Why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different wavelengths of light that srike the cholrophyll?

Chlorophyll appears green to us because it absorbs red and blue light wavelengths well, while reflecting or transmitting green light. This means that the green light is what is not absorbed by chlorophyll and is therefore reflected, making chlorophyll's color appear green.

What colours of light will a blue filter absorbs and transnit?

A blue filter absorbs most colors of light except blue, which it transmits. This means that it will absorb red, green, and other colors of light, while allowing blue light to pass through.


Black surfaces absorbs light?

yes. Black=absorbs light. That is what black means.


When a solution is red does the solution absorb red light strongly or transmit red light strongly?

When a solution appears red, it absorbs light of complementary colors (green and blue) and transmits or reflects red light. This means that the solution absorbs light in the green and blue portions of the visible spectrum, resulting in the red color that is observed.


What happens when you pass a green filter through light?

When a green filter is passed through light, it selectively absorbs all colors of light except green. This means that only green light passes through the filter, while other colors are absorbed. The result is that the light appears green in color after passing through the filter.


Why does chlorophyll makes a leave look green?

Chlorophyll, the pigment in leaves responsible for their green color, absorbs red and blue light for photosynthesis but reflects green light, giving leaves their green appearance. This means that the green wavelengths are not absorbed by chlorophyll and are instead reflected back to our eyes, making the leaves appear green to us.


When you see an object of a particular color say green what wavelengths of light are absorbed by the object What wavelengths are reflected?

When you see an object it's because light is reflected from it to your eye. If it appears green it is because it is only reflecting green light to your eye. That means it is absorbing all the other colours. If something appears red it is because it is reflecting red light to your eye and absorbing all the other colours. Sometimes things absorb most, but not all, red and some, but not all, blue and we see purple.


What does a stale green light means?

It simply means that the light's been green for a time already, as opposed to a fresh green light, which just turned green.


What pigment trapes the energy?

Since this is in Plant Biology, I'll assume we're talking about chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a green pigment, which means that it reflects green light. It "traps" (absorbs) other frequencies, such as red and blue.If you were to confine a green plant in green light, it would perish, but if you kept it in red light, it would hang on (though full spectrum (white) light is still better).


A painted wall appears yellow?

The paint absorbs blue light, which means red and green light are preferentially reflected and red and green combined appear yellow.This may be the reverse of what you learned in art class; the reason is that mixing pigmentsinvolves subtractiveprimary colors and mixing light involves additivecolors. Shine a red and a green light on the same spot and it will appear yellow.
