The paper is made of cellulose, a polar substance, and the compounds within the mixture travel farther if they are non-polar. More polar substances bond with the cellulose paper more quickly, and therefore do not travel as far.

∙ 11y agoBecause its not all the same colour so it travels up the paper and then you can see what the answer it :)
I'm a high level student in science and ca answer and questions you ask me :)

Different colors are the result of different what?
varying speeds different colors of light travel
How does the prism separate white light into colors?
It is due to the differing frequencies of colors of light. The different frequencies of light actually travel at different speeds,through a medium such as glass. When the light enters glass at an angle, the different speeds of each frequency cause the light to bend. Each color exits the glass at their own unique angle and separate.
In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different?
They travel at different speeds.
Why does sound travel at different speeds through different mediums?
because of material density
Is it true that a vacuum different color of light travel at different speeds?
No, that is not true. In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.
How do different colors of light travel?
Different Colors Of Light Travel At Different Speeds.
Different colors are the result of different what?
varying speeds different colors of light travel
How is a prism able to break sunlight into its component colours?
Different colors of light travel at slightly different speeds in the material of the prism. This causes a refraction that spreads apart the colors.
Why does light refract?
Because light travels at different velocities, and various colors of light also travel at different speeds in optical media.
How does light refract?
it refracts because it travels in different velocities and other colors of light travel in different speeds When light crosses a boundary between mediums, it changes speeds, and it bends or changes the angle that it is travailing at when it crosses the boundary.
Why does speed travel at different speeds in different liquids?
no
Does light travel at different speeds through different materials?
no
Why do different substances travel at different speeds in a chromatography?
yes they do
How long does a continental plate to travel 1 meter?
Different plates travel at different speeds.

Can colors travel in vacuum?
Yes colors can travel through vaccum as colors are formed due to light of different wavelengths.As light can travel through vaccum so do colors.
