What wavelengths of visible light are not being absorbed by red and yellow pigment?
Red pigment absorbs wavelengths of green and blue light, while yellow pigment works by absorbing blue light. Therefore, the colors not absorbed by red pigment are green and blue, and the color not absorbed by yellow pigment is blue.
Is true when light strikes a green leaf most of the green part of the spectrum is reflected?
Yes, it is true that when light strikes a green leaf, most of the green part of the spectrum is reflected. This is because chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis in plants, absorbs light primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, while reflecting green light. As a result, leaves appear green to our eyes. This reflection of green light is a key characteristic of healthy green foliage.
Are snowflakes blue?
Snowflakes are actually clear or transparent, containing no pigment that would give them color. They appear white due to the way they reflect light. Certain atmospheric conditions or impurities (such as dust or pollution) may cause snowflakes to appear blue as they absorb red light and scatter blue light.
What wavelength of visible light is least utilized by chlorophyll?
White absorbs the least light. The "pigment" that causes the color white does not absorb any other colors, so all the colors are reflected back to you as "everything", or white. Think of white light. There are many colors hidden in white light, and by the process of refraction, white light can be separated and a rainbow of colors revealed. Black, on the other hand, is a pigment that absorbs all colors of light. Since no color is present, what you see is essentially a reflection of "nothing".
When light strikes a blue opaque surface only blue light is?
... reflected, and perceived by passersby.
What happens when you shine a red light on a blue piece of paper?
The paper appears dark because red light is absorbed by the blue pigment, not reflected. The blue pigment absorbs red light and reflects blue light, which is why the paper appears blue under white light.
How is light blue colour made?
Blue and a little bit of yellow creates light blue. It's simple really.
What wavelengths of visible light are not being absorbed by red and yellow pigment?
Red pigment absorbs wavelengths of green and blue light, while yellow pigment works by absorbing blue light. Therefore, the colors not absorbed by red pigment are green and blue, and the color not absorbed by yellow pigment is blue.
How do you blue paint?
add a blue pigment to white paint
Why do white tigers have blue eyes?
White tigers have blue eyes due to a gene that causes them to lack pigment in the iris. This lack of pigment results in the blue appearance of their eyes.
Why do Blue objects look blue because?
That certain object has a pigment of every color except for blue.
When light strikes a green leaf how does this explain why leaves appear green?
Light that is white contains all the colours. When the light hits the leaf, it absorbs all the colours apart from the green light which is reflected back out to your eyes. So you see the leaf as green.
What happens when white light strikes a red opaque object. What about blue light. red light. violet light?
When white light strikes a red object, the object would appear red. The object would have reflected the red light within the white light while all other colours would have been absorbed. When blue light strikes a red object, it would appear black as there is no red light in blue light as it is a primary colour. As a result, the blue light would be completely absorbed by the red object. So no light would be reflected from the object. When violet light strikes a red object, it would appear red, as violet is a combination of blue and red light. The blue light would be absorbed while the red light would be reflected. It is good to learn and revise the light spectrum and primary and secondary light colours. Primary light colours are: Red, Green and Blue Secondary light colours are: Yellow, Cyan and Violet The combinations are: Red + Green = Yellow Green + Blue = Cyan Blue + Red = Violet (or Magenta depending on how you have been taught)
What color is white light minus green?
White light minus green light would appear as a magenta or pink color. This is because when green light is subtracted from white light, the remaining combination of red and blue light creates the magenta/pink hue.
What do the colors blue and white make?
That would be pale blue. Adding white pigment to any color lightens the color.
What color do you get when you mix blue and white?
You get light blue.
Compare primary light colors and primary pigment colors?
Primary light colors (red, green, blue) are additive colors that combine to create white light, while primary pigment colors (cyan, magenta, yellow) are subtractive colors that combine to create black. Mixing primary light colors results in brighter colors, while mixing primary pigment colors results in darker colors. Primary light colors are used in digital displays, while primary pigment colors are used in traditional printing methods.
