FALSE!
Sunlight appears to be white to the human eye but is actually a mix of all the colors in the rainbow. The blue and violet part of the spectrum has shorter wavelengths than the red and orange part. Shorter wavelength blue and violet light is scattered more strongly than red and orange light. When you look at the sky, you see the light that was redirected by the atmosphere into your line or sight. Since blue and violet is scattered more efficiently that red and orange light, the sky appears blue. When viewing a sunrise or sunset, you see only light that has not been scattered in other directions. The red and orange part of sunlight travels through a maximum length of the atmosphere, so a sunrise and sunset appears to be more orange and reddish.
What else can I help you with?
If a substance appears red in color then what color light is reflected?
I think it's mainly the red light that's reflected from the object.
When the amount of light reflected increases called?
When the amount of light reflected increases, it is referred to as brightness or luminance. This is a measure of how intense the light appears to the human eye.
Is red light reflected or absorbed by an object if the object appears red to your eyes?
The object is reflecting red light. When we see an object as red, it appears that color because it is reflecting red light and absorbing other colors in the visible light spectrum.
When light strikes a transparent material most of the light is reflected true or false?
False. When light strikes a transparent material, some of the light is reflected, but much of it is also transmitted through the material. The amount of reflection depends on the refractive index of the material.
What colors of light are reflected and absorbed?
An object appears a certain color because it reflects certain wavelengths of light and absorbs others. The color of light that is reflected is the color that we perceive, while the colors that are absorbed are not reflected back to our eyes.
What is the color that an object appears to be determined by?
The color that an object appears to be is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected off the object and into our eyes. Different colors correspond to different wavelengths of light that are absorbed or reflected by the object's surface.
The color that an object appears to be depends on the?
The color that an object appears to be depends on the wavelengths of visible light that are absorbed and reflected by the object's surface. Objects absorb certain wavelengths and reflect others, with the reflected wavelengths determining the color we perceive.
What does reflected light mean?
Reflected light refers to the light that bounces off a surface and returns to the eye or camera. It plays a crucial role in how an object appears visually, as the properties of the surface determine how much light is reflected and in what direction.
How does the moon appear to have a sunlight of its own?
The reason appears to produce its own light because the light the light from our sun is reflected off of it.
What colors are reflected from black?
no color can be reflected from black because it absorbs all the light!!! but anything can be reflected off of white and all those light colors...
True or false When light hits a plant all of the wavelengths of light are absorbed by chlorophyll?
No. There are only certain wavelengths of light that plants can use for photosynthesis.Plants have trouble using green light because it is reflected by the chlorophyll pigment (that is why leaves look green).
What happens to the white light when a beam of white light shines on an object that appears to be bright red?
The object absorbs most colors in the white light spectrum except for red, which is reflected. This reflected red light is what we perceive with our eyes as the object's color.
