Does earth emit or reflect light?

Earth both reflects and emits light. The surface of the Earth reflects sunlight, which is why we can see it during the day. Earth also emits infrared radiation (heat) back into space, which is absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.


Does a nebula have no light of its own?

It does not have visible light of its own, that lite is provided by the shine of the stars in it and or around it.


What type of property is colour?

Color is a perceptual property characteristic of an object that results from the light it reflects or emits. It is a psychological and physiological phenomenon that is used to differentiate and categorize objects based on the wavelengths of light they reflect.


Is the light from an incandescent lamp monochromatic?

No, an incandescent bulb i.e. a bulb that emits light by the generation of heat, emits white light and is therefore not monochromatic. For a source to be monochromatic, the light emitted must be of a single wavelength.


Why does the heating coil become red hot and white hot?

The heating coil becomes red hot and then white hot due to the temperature increase as electrical current passes through it. When the coil heats up, it first emits visible red light as it reaches higher temperatures, indicating it's glowing due to incandescence. As the temperature rises further, it emits light in the blue and violet spectrum, making it appear white hot. The color change reflects the coil's increasing thermal energy and the wavelengths of light it emits.

Why do object appear white?

A white object emits light in all/most of the visible spectrum evenly.Because it reflects all the light back.


Does Saturn emit or reflect light?

It reflects light. The only body in our solar system that emits light is the sun. The Earth also emits light from fires, volcanic eruptions and electric lighting but not enough to illuminate something as large as another planet.


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.
