The atmosphere of Jupiter is more than 1000 km thick. From the surface of Jupiter, would you expect to see a white Sun?
According to the Young-Helmholtz theory of color vision, humans have cell
receptors called "cones" in their retina that have peak sensitivities in the Red, Green
and Blue wavelength ranges.
When light reflects off a surface, we perceive the color or colors that are
reflected; other colors are absorbed by the material.
Which TWO of the following statements are correct?
Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by
white light, other colors are absorbed and are therefore necessary
for photosynthesis.
If a yellow light illuminates a white book, the reflection will cause
the red and green cones of an observer to be stimulated and will
send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve.
If both a red light and a green light illuminate a white book, the
reflection will cause the blue cones of an observer to be
stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic
nerve.
Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by
white light, the green…

If the sun emits light with a peak wavelength of 500 nm. What is the temperature of the sun? Two slits, 0.5 mm apart, are placed at a distance of 1.5 meters from a screen. Light of 300 nm illuminates the two slits and an interference pattern is observed on the screen. What is the distance between the central bright spot and the first bright spot on either side?arrow_forwardA colloid consists of particles of one type of substance dispersed in another substance. Suspensions of electrically charged microspheres (microscopic spheres, such as polystyrene) in a liquid such as water can form a colloidal crystal when the microspheres arrange themselves in a regular repeating pattern under the influence of the electrostatic force. Colloidal crystals can selectively manipulate different wavelengths of visible light. Just as we can study crystalline solids by using Bragg reflection of x rays, we can study colloidal crystals through Bragg scattering of visible light from the regular arrangement of charged microspheres. Because the light is traveling through a liquid when it experiences the path differences that lead to constructive interference, it is the wavelength in the liquid that determines the angles at which Bragg reflections are seen. In one experiment, laser light with a wavelength in vacuum of 650 nm is passed through a sample of charged polystyrene…arrow_forwardA colloid consists of particles of one type of substance dispersed in another substance.
