What is charmatograhy paper? Just kidding! I assume you mean chromatography paper. Well, the answer to your question lies in the solubility of the different colour dyes. The more soluble the dye the faster it will travel across the paper. Also, some substances react better with the paper but I'm not sure that is the right answer.

Why do different colors travel at different speeds?

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. found on <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatography>


How does chromotograhy work using particles?

Chromatography is a way of separating solutions. In schools dyes are usually used to illustrate this. Most dyes are actually solutions of different coloured chemicals. The colours are the solute particles. They are attracted by the solvent particles and the chromotography paper. Each solute is attracted by a different amount. When the colour is separated by chromotography the solutes which are held strongest by the solvent travel the furthest whereas the solutes that are held the strongest by the paper travel the least.


Why does paper reflect light?

White reflects more light than any other colour, while black absorbs more light than any other color. To get technical, photons that are not absorbed by the paper will bounce off (be reflected by) the paper and make it appear lighter or white. Short answer: because most paper is white.

What will happen to the colour of the shadow if a piece of blue cellophane paper is placed between the light source and the object?

The shadow will appear blue due to the blue cellophane paper filtering out other colors of light and allowing only blue light to pass through. The color of the shadow will depend on the color of the light passing through the cellophane paper.
