How does visible light interact with an object?
Visible light interacts with an object by either being absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The color of the object is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected off its surface. When light is absorbed, it can cause the object to heat up. Transmitted light passes through the object without being absorbed or reflected.
Wavelength of light would you expect to be reflected or transmitted by chlorophyll a?
green
Is the color of an object the sum of the color it will reflect or transmit?
The color of an object is determined by the specific wavelengths of light that are reflected or transmitted by the object. The color we perceive is the sum of the light that is reflected or transmitted, and not the light that is absorbed by the object.
Are light microscopes more powerful than electron microscopes?
Yes, electron microscopes have a much higher possible magnification than compound light microscopes. An electron microscope is capable of 10,000,000 times magnification, whereas a good compound light microscope is capable of 1,000 - 2,000 times magnification.
What happens to sun light that strikes a leaf but is not trap by the chlorophyll?
It is either transmitted or reflected. Often, different portions of the light do both.
Does transmitted and reflected mean the same thing?
No, in the context of light, transmitted and reflected are not the same. Transmitted light is when light passes through a material, while reflected light is when light bounces off a surface.
Why are light microscopes also called compound microscopes?
Light microscopes are called compound because a light microscope has more than one lense.
What is an example of transmitted light?
Leaves that are green are an example of reflected and transmitted light.
Can light reflected and transmitted at a boundary?
Yes, when light encounters a boundary between two different mediums, it can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed. The amount of light reflected and transmitted depends on the properties of the materials involved, such as their refractive indices and angles of incidence.
What happens to the colors of light that are not transmitted through a transmitted or a translucent material?
they reflected
What is transmitted by glass but reflected by silver surfaces?
light
Can light reflect and absorb and transmit all at the same time?
Yes, light can be reflected, absorbed, and transmitted simultaneously. When light encounters a medium, some of it is reflected back, some is absorbed by the medium, and some is transmitted through it. The amount of light that is reflected, absorbed, and transmitted depends on the properties of the material it interacts with.
How does visible light interact with an object?
Visible light interacts with an object by either being absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The color of the object is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected off its surface. When light is absorbed, it can cause the object to heat up. Transmitted light passes through the object without being absorbed or reflected.
What will happen to light that are not absorb?
Light that is not absorbed is either reflected, refracted, or transmitted.
How much light is reflected and transmitted when light strikes at a perpendicular to a surface?
Only about 4% is reflected, the rest is transmitted. 3. (29.1) When light strikes perpendicular to the surface of a pane of glass, how much light is reflected and how much is transmitted? Normal to the surface refers to a line that is drawn perpendicular to the surface (90°).
What is the color of ferric coloride?
Dark green by reflected light and purple-red by transmitted light
Can compound light microscopes view living specimen?
Yes, compound light microscopes can view living specimens. These microscopes use visible light to illuminate the specimen, allowing for real-time observation of living organisms without causing harm to them.
