What else can I help you with?
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.
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
Can light be reflected?
The reflection of light occurs when an electromagnetic wave (light) is absorbed by an electron (particle) which gains kinetic energy (speed) and then releases its energy in the form of light. This effect can be explained classically by Thomson scattering and more recently Compton scattering. Some light is not reemitted due to resonance and retention of kinetic energy by the electron resulting in absorption. If the absorption is at a certain wavelength, the reflected light appears to be a certain color. Mirrors are able to create an image because they have a very smooth surface. This enables the surface to reflect light uniformly as opposed to scattering it in all directions like most objects.
How can a shadow be reflected?
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.
How is light refracted and reflected?
Light is perfectly reflected from a surface when the roughness of the surface is small compared to the wavelength of the light. Otherwise the reflection is diffuse.Light is refracted when it passes from one medium to another of a different refractive index. One in which the light travels at a different speed than in vacuo.
What determine the color of an opaque?
the wavelength of the reflected light :)
Which light wavelength and color is reflected by the pigment chlorophyll?
green
What determine the colors of opaque object?
the wavelength of the reflected light :)
Wavelength of light would you expect to be reflected or transmitted by chlorophyll a?
green
What is the color you see based on?
The frequency or wavelength of the light reflected from the object to your eye.
For a substance to appear white what must happen to all wavelength of light?
must be reflected
What is the wavelenght of light reflected most from ocean water?
Whatever the color of the substance is, that's the light wave that is reflected most. So the ocean would mostly be green and blue. However black means no light is reflected, so the darker the less reflected.
What is the art element derived from the reflected light spectrum?
COLOR! the element of art is color!
What wavelength of light is reflected form red shirt?
A red shirt reflects light mostly in the range of 620-750 nanometers, which corresponds to the red portion of the visible light spectrum. This wavelength is absorbed by the shirt's dye, while the rest of the light spectrum is reflected, giving the shirt its red color.
What term refers to that light which reflects at an angle equal to its incidents?
Reflected light!
In visible light color is an indication of?
In visible light, color is an indication of the wavelength of light that is being reflected or emitted by an object. Different colors correspond to different wavelengths of light, with red having the longest wavelength and violet having the shortest.
When a light wave is reflected from a mirror there is a change in its?
When a light wave is reflected from a mirror, its direction changes. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. The frequency and wavelength of the light wave remain the same after reflection.
