The next wavelength is infrared which can be considered as heat. My physics instructor told me that brown does not occur on the electromagnetic spectrum, since no combination of other color wavelengths can create it. The "color" brown is created by the brain as a filler. That means brown is imaginary in a way. This shouldn't be SO shocking, since the brain does other things to our vision like invert the picture so what we see is not upside-down. It makes me wonder though...when we see brown, there has to be SOME wavelength coming into our eyes, but not within the visible light range. What wavelength should brown be, then? There you go: an answer, but an even harder question that comes with it!
What else can I help you with?
Does candle light have a continuous light spectrum?
No, candle light does not have a continuous light spectrum. It produces a continuous spectrum with missing colors due to absorption by the flame and emission from soot particles, resulting in a warm, orange-yellow color.
What is the difference between absorption and emission spectrum?
Emission spectrum: lines emitted from an atom.Absorption spectrum: absorbed wavelengths of a molecule.
Why would the absorption spectrum of each element have lines in the same places as in its emission spectrum?
The absorption spectrum of an element have lines in the same places as in its emission spectrum because each line in the emission spectrum corresponds to a specific transition of electrons between energy levels. When light is absorbed by the element, electrons move from lower energy levels to higher ones, creating the same lines in the absorption spectrum as the emission spectrum. The frequencies of light absorbed and emitted are the same for a specific element, resulting in matching lines.
What colors of visible light are found in the emission spectrum of hydrogen?
Red, blue, green, and violet are found in the emission spectrum of hydrogen.
How does an emission spectrum of a gas in a discharge tube differ from a white light spectrum?
It differs by that white light spectrum is continuous and consists of light of all wavelengths. Emission spectrum is not continuous. It consists of bright lines at specific wavelengths, with complete darkness between them.
What is the relationship between the fluorescent light emission spectrum and the color produced by a fluorescent light source?
The fluorescent light emission spectrum determines the colors produced by a fluorescent light source. Different elements in the phosphor coating of the bulb emit light at specific wavelengths, which combine to create the overall color of the light. The emission spectrum influences the perceived color of the light emitted by the bulb.
What is the significance of the white light emission spectrum in the study of optics and light sources?
The white light emission spectrum is significant in optics and light sources because it contains all the colors of the visible spectrum. This allows for a wide range of applications, such as in color mixing, photography, and creating accurate color representations.
What do you call a prism spreading out light into colors?
It is called Visible light Spectrum.
What does the color brown absorb?
Brown absorbs most wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum, reflecting back a range of colors. This absorption of light gives brown its characteristic dark color.
Explain the difference between the continuous spectrum of white light and the atomic emission spectrum of an element?
The difference between continuous spectrum and the atomic emission espectrum of an element is that in emission spectrum, only certain specific frequencies of light are emitted while in a continuous spectrum, a continuous range of colors are seen in the visible light.
What color is NO2?
NO2, nitrogen dioxide, is typically reddish-brown in color. This color is caused by the absorption of light in the blue region of the spectrum.
Why do different elements give off a colorful light when heated?
The color depends on the lines of the emission spectrum of each different element.
Does candle light have a continuous light spectrum?
No, candle light does not have a continuous light spectrum. It produces a continuous spectrum with missing colors due to absorption by the flame and emission from soot particles, resulting in a warm, orange-yellow color.
What is the difference between absorption and emission spectrum?
Emission spectrum: lines emitted from an atom.Absorption spectrum: absorbed wavelengths of a molecule.
How can you Distinguish absorption spectrum from emission spectrum?
Emission spectra are bright-line spectra, absorption spectra are dark-line spectra. That is: an emission spectrum is a series of bright lines on a dark background. An absorption spectrum is a series of dark lines on a normal spectrum (rainbow) background.
What is the difference between an absorption and an emission spectrum?
Absorption spectrum is a gap in the overall spectrum. It happen when light makes an electron jump to a higher orbital and light energy is absorbed. Emission spectrum is light emitted at particular wavelengths (where the absorption spectrum gaps are). It happens when an electron falls from a higher orbital and emits light energy in doing so.
What is a light reddish yellow brown color?
The color you are referring to is likely known as "terra cotta." It is a warm and earthy color that falls within the reddish yellow brown spectrum.
