Why the object appear when you put the object in front of mirror?
light bounces off an object and on to the miorror surface where it is then reflected at the same wavelength as it was casted on to there with
The color of the light is determined by what of the light waves?
The colour of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects. An object that is purley one wavelength (lets say a specific wavelength in the blue part of the spectrum) would be absorbing all visable wavelengths except that specific blue wavelength.
The color of an opaque object is the same as the light that is?
...reflected off of it. For example, leaves appear green as their pigment (chlorophyll) only reflects the wavelength of green light.
What is the color of an opaque object determined by?
the wave length of light that is absorbed by the object determines color--White refects all eye perceptible colors where as black absorbes The colour of an opaque object is determined by the wavelength of the visible spectrum that it reflects. Light is made up of 7 colours, each having a specific wavelength range. Consider an object which appears green to the eye. Actually the object is not green in colour, it only reflects the waves pertaining to green wavelength range. All other wavelength are either transmitted or absorbed. The reflected wave reaches our retina and is perceived as that colour.
What do you mean when you say an object is opaque?
An object is opaque when it absorbs or reflects light, and does not transmit the light through itself. And object is transparent or translucent if it transmits some or all of the light through itself.
What did you observe about the wavelength and frequencies of the different colors of light?
A higher frequency means a shorter wavelength, and a lower frequency means a longer wavelength.
Can an object vibrate at the wavelength of light?
No object can vibrate at the wavelength of light. wavelength of light depends on the intensity of light and electron movements.
If you wanted to observe a molecular cloud in what wavelength of light would you most likely observe?
infrared.
Why is the statement the color of an object depends on the wavelengths of light it absords inaccurate?
...because the colour of an object depends on the wavelength of light it reflects, or the wavelength of light it emits.
How does a spectroscope extend a scientist's ability to observe light?
It allows a scientist to measure the wavelength of light.
When viewing an object we see its color according to the wavelength of light that the object?
refelcts
What determines the color of an opaque object?
the wavelength of the reflected light :)
What determine the colors of opaque object?
the wavelength of the reflected light :)
What did you observe about the wavelengths and frequencies of the different colors of light?
A higher frequency means a shorter wavelength, and a lower frequency means a longer wavelength.
Resolution decreases as the amount of light coming in on the object increases?
Changes in resolution with wavelength (light microscope) ... power improves as the wavelength of the illuminating light decreases. ...
What color is an object the absorbs light of all wavelengths?
black body is the object which absorbs the light of all wavelength...........
A blackbody curve relates the wavelength of emitted light to?
The temperature of the object.
