Fluorescent or neon colors, such as bright greens, pinks, and yellows, tend to show up prominently under ultraviolet (UV) light. These colors appear to glow because certain dyes and pigments react to UV light by emitting visible light.

Which has the greater wavelength blue or indigo light show rationale?

Indigo light has a greater wavelength than blue light. This is because indigo light falls between blue and violet on the electromagnetic spectrum, and wavelengths decrease from red to violet. Hence, indigo light has a longer wavelength than blue light, making it closer to violet light in terms of wavelength.


Why does a green shirt white in magenta light?

Each piece of clothing usually reflect only a few colours. Pure white light contains all of the colours, so an item of clothing can reflect all of the few colours it is capable of reflecting. If an item of clothing is viewed in magenta light (which is mainly blue and red) then that clothing may show that it is only able to reflect some shades of red and/or some shades of blue.


When viewed in white light soap bubbles show colours because of?

The colors in soap bubbles are caused by interference patterns that are created when white light reflects off the thin film of soap. Different colors are produced depending on the thickness of the film, resulting in iridescent patterns.


Why can white light refract to show all the colours of the rainbow?

White light is composed of a spectrum of colors with different wavelengths. When white light enters a medium like glass or water, each color refracts at a slightly different angle due to their different wavelengths. This separation of colors produces the spectrum of colors we see in a rainbow.


How can you show that white light is not just one colour?

White light can be separated into its component colors using a prism or diffraction grating, a process called dispersion. When white light passes through these tools, it is refracted at different angles corresponding to its different wavelengths, resulting in a spectrum of colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This proves that white light is composed of a range of colors.

Newton did experiments using prisms to show that white light contained all colours of light.


Will neon colors show up with a black-light?

Yes! No! Let me explain... Color (I'm in the US!) is really the frequency of light waves. As the frequency increases, humans perceive different colors. The colors of the rainbow, red, orange, yello, green, blue, indigo, violet, are really just increasing frequency of light. So-called 'black light', more accurately called ultra-violet, or UV, is just a little higher in frequency than violet. The human eye is not able to see UV. So, if we define colors simply as light of increasing frequency, then yes, black light is a color. But, some will argue that a major characteristic of color is that it is something we 'see'. Since humans cannot perceive ultra-violet, we could argue it is not a color. Some animals and insects, however CAN see in the ultra-violet portion of the spectrum. UV would certainly be a color to them. So, unless we are extremely nit-picky, we would probably conclude UV is a colour.


Why does the diamond show flashes of color when observe ordinary white light?

White light is composed from all the colours shown in a rainbow. The facets on a diamond acts like a prism and separates the white light into a flash of rainbow colours.


What do you use to show the spectrum of a colors?

White is nothing and absorbs nothing Green is in the middle absorbing ultra violet to infra red excluding green therefore you see green. Black absorbs all. Water shows all as light shines through...hmm don't know


Why do Cds show spectrum in like any color of light?

It's caused by light being broken into its different colours by the transition through the plastic layer.


What are the primary of colors of light?

This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.
