Narrow lines of colors with no light in between them are called what?
It is called an absorption spectrum.
When waves energy is lost to a surface making waves weaker what is it called?
Absorption
What is the molar absorption of copper-II sulfate pentahydrate whose absorbance is 0.17 at 650nm?
Depends on the length the light traveled through the solution and the solution concentration. molar absorption = absorbance/(length x concentration) length is typically in cm and concentration is typically in mol/L
Which type of interaction keeps some light waves from reaching the ocean floor?
Scattering would be one process, and actual absorption by particles would be another.
How does heat absorption affect colors?
Light colors are light because they reflect more light energy back to your eye. Dark colors are dark because they absorb more light energy. The extreme examples of this are white, which reflects all bands of light, and black that absorbs all light. When an object absorbs light energy it will dissipate this energy as heat, as a result darker colors, that absorbed more light, will dissipate more heat, making them feel hotter. An example of this is sitting in a car with leather seats in the summertime. Cars with black leather feel much hotter than those with brown leather. Though color directly affects light absorption, it doesn't really effect heat absorption. The different colors don't change the amount of heat they absorb, but does affect the amount of heat they dissipate (give off). I hope this answered your question, if not just let me know and I will try to expand my answer or explain it better.
Do pigments affect the absorption of light in plants?
Yes they do affect the absorption of light in plants.
Is absorbing light a chemical reaction?
Light absorption is a physical process; but the effects of the absorption may be chemical.
What are some examples of light absorption?
An example of light absorption is a crystal. Crystals absorb light and then reflect the light back out resulting in the appearance of a rainbow.
What is the first process in the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
Excitation of electrons in photosystem II.
What are some examples of absorption?
An example of light absorption is a crystal. Crystals absorb light and then reflect the light back out resulting in the appearance of a rainbow.
Light absorption by a pigment is measured for red blue green and yellow light what is the dependent and the independent variable?
The light absorption is dependent on the measurement of the red, blue, green and yellow light ( which is the independent variable ).
Why absorption happen in incomming light?
In absorption, the frequency of the incoming light wave is at or near the energy levels of the electrons in the matter.
What is the transfer of of energy carried by light waves to particles in matter?
This process is called energy absorption.
What is meant by the absorption spectrum of a pigment?
The absorption spectrum of pigment is the molecules response to light. The color of the pigment depends on the wavelengths of light the do not absorb.
How absorption and scattering can affect beam of light?
How absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light is if the beam of light is farther away from an object, the light would be dimmer. But, if the beam of light was closer to the object, then the light would appear brighter.
How can absorption and scattering affect a beam of light?
How absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light is if the beam of light is farther away from an object, the light would be dimmer. But, if the beam of light was closer to the object, then the light would appear brighter.
The first process in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is?
light absorption
