White light consists of the colours red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These seven colours each having a different wavelength (the wavelength decreases in the order the colours were given above). Thus, white light has radiations of different wavelength, but NOT 'all'.
What else can I help you with?
What is a combination of several different wavelengths of light traveling together?
When the visible light of all wavelengths are combined, it is called white light.
If white light goes into a material and only blue light comes out the other wavelengths have been?
absorbed
How Blue light and yellow light combine to produce white light. What does this tell you about the two colors?
Blue light and yellow light combine to produce white light through additive color mixing, where different wavelengths of light are combined. Blue light, which has shorter wavelengths, and yellow light, a mix of red and green wavelengths, together encompass a broad range of the visible spectrum, resulting in the perception of white light. This interaction highlights that blue and yellow are complementary colors, capable of creating a balanced spectrum when combined. Thus, it illustrates the principle that combining certain colors of light can yield a neutral color like white.
What must happen to all wave lengths of light for a substance to appear white?
The colours we see in an object are only the colours that are reflected. Inferentially, the other colours are absorbed. The grass is green (when illuminated by a white light source) because the redder end of the spectrum is absorbed and used by the plant to do its stuff - photosynthesis and so on. A white card appears white because all the light wavelengths [to which we can respond] are reflected. That card may absorb some of the white light, but not at wavelengths to which we respond.
What color reflects heat best for an outside umbrella?
White light is made up of all the different colors of light, as can be seen when it is separated into these various wavelengths using a prism. The colors that we see are the wavelengths of light that are being reflected off of the objects we are looking at. Objects that are red will reflect only red wavelengths and will absorb the other wavelengths; objects that are blue will reflect only blue wavelengths and will absorb the other wavelengths; etc. Black objects absorb all visible wavelengths of light, which is why black asphalt gets so hot in the sunlight. White objects reflect all wavelengths of light. Therefore, a white umbrella would reflect the largest amount of light. However, this does not necessarily imply that it would be the best color to use for an umbrella because what really matters is how much light is transmitted through the umbrella to reach the shade below. The more light that gets through, the less effective the umbrella is in providing you with shade. Therefore, what really matters is how opaque the umbrella is, rather than what color the umbrella is. The opaqueness will be more characteristic of what material the umbrella is made of than what color it is. The fraction of the light that is transmitted will equal all the light that strikes the umbrella that is neither reflected nor absorbed. Thus, it is best to find an umbrella which combines high reflectivity with high opaqueness (generally a thick material) in order to keep the umbrella from heating up and stop the greatest percentage of the sun's rays from reaching you.
What is a combination of several different wavelengths of light traveling together?
When the visible light of all wavelengths are combined, it is called white light.
If a solution reflects white light does it absorb all wavelengths?
No, a solution that reflects white light does not absorb all wavelengths. Instead, it reflects most of the wavelengths within the visible spectrum which combine to form white light.
Red light and white light reflect?
All of the electromagnetic spectrum can be reflected. White light is a combination of all colors. They all reflect, red is among them.
What does a white light bulb emit?
A white light bulb emits a combination of all visible wavelengths of light, which is perceived by our eyes as white light. This combination includes red, blue, and green wavelengths of light.
What goes in the blank Mixing all of the wavelengths of together creates white light?
All of the wavelengths of VISIBLE LIGHT.
A combanation that lets several different wavelengths of light traveling together?
A combination of different wavelengths of light traveling together is known as white light. White light is composed of a combination of all the colors of the visible spectrum. When these different wavelengths of light combine, they create the perception of white light to the human eye.
If light of all visible wavelengths is combined the results appear to be what color?
If the lights from all visible wavelengths are combined, they appear to be a white color.
What forms white light and how is it produced?
White light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum. It is produced when light from a source, such as the sun or a light bulb, contains a mix of different wavelengths of light. When these wavelengths combine, they create the perception of white light to our eyes.
True or false a solution which reflects white light absorbs all wavelenghts?
It is false that a solution that reflects white light absorbs all wavelengths. A solution that reflects white light reflects all wavelengths.
What hapends when light hits a white surface?
When light hits a white surface, all the wavelengths of light are reflected off the surface uniformly, resulting in the surface appearing white to our eyes. This is because white surfaces reflect all visible wavelengths of light.
What color has the most color?
Technically white. Color is from wavelengths of light being reflected, and white is a reflection of all wavelengths
What kinda light is a mixture of all visible wavelengths of the spectrum?
White light is a mixture of all visible wavelengths of the spectrum. When white light passes through a prism, it separates into its constituent colors creating a rainbow effect.
