Students are asked to conduct an investigation on the mixing of color. They have three flashlights, each covered with a piece of

colored acetate (a transparent plastic). One flashlight is red, one is green, and one is blue. They shine the lights against a white background and observe that when the colors are mixed together, they see a white light. The students then hold a hand in front of the white background and switch on the lights one at a time. They record their observations for the color of the object and its shadow. They repeat this experiment with all three lights on and record the shadows they observe. Which best explains the difference in the results obtained for the shadow colors with all three lights on?

Block the red and green lights and you get a blue shadow. Block all three lights, you get a black shadow.Block one of the three lights, you get a shadow whose colour is a mixture of the two other colours.

<h3>What is colour spectrum?</h3>

The distribution of colors produced when light is dispersed by a prism.

In this demonstration,

Students experiment with red, green, and blue light to get different shadow colours.

Primary colors are not a fundamental property of light but are related to the physiological response of the eye to light. Light is a continuous spectrum of all of the wavelengths that can be detected by the human eye.

The human eye normally contains only three types of colour ranges of the colour spectrum.

Humans and other species with three such types of color receptors are known as trichromats.

The R, G, B cones are most sensitive to the red, green, and blue wavelengths.

The colours each receptor is the most sensitive to. The blue cone will also pick up purple, blue, and green hues.

Green cones will pick up purple, blue, green, yellow, and orange hues. Red cones will pick up purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red hues. The sensitivities of the three cones overlap to let us perceive all visible colours.

Hence,

When red light, blue light, and green light stimulate the three colour receptors on our retinas equally, the signal gets blended in our brain and we see "white" light.

This is why we see sunlight as white light, not as its individual colours.

Slight changes in the relative signals of the cones enable us to see a myriad of different colour combinations, which is why we "see" more than just three colours.

In this demonstration, coloured filters are affixed to flashlights.

The coloured filters block some wavelengths and let others through. The red-filtered flashlight puts out wavelengths from red through to orange and yellow. The green-filtered flashlight puts out yellow, green and blue wavelengths. The blue-filtered flashlight puts out green, blue, and purple wavelengths.

When the three coloured light bulbs all shine on the same surface, we see all the wavelengths from red through to purple, which we perceive as white.

With these three coloured lights you can make shadows of seven different colours:

Blue, red, green, black, cyan (blue-green), magenta (pink), and yellow.

If you block two of the three lights, you get a shadow of the third color.

  • Block the red and green lights and you get a blue shadow.
  • Block all three lights, you get a black shadow.
  • Block one of the three lights, you get a shadow whose colour is a mixture of the two other colours.

a body is dropped from a height of 240m. (i)How long does it take to reach the ground. (ii) What is the velocity with which it w
kramer

Answer:

7.0 s, 69 m/s

Explanation:

If we take down to be positive, then the time to reach the ground is:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

240 m = (0 m) + (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 7.0 seconds

The final velocity is:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2(9.8 m/s²) (240 m - 0 m)

v = 69 m/s

What is the mass, in grams, of 2.00 moles of H2O?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

36g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of H₂O = 2moles

Unknown:

Mass of  H₂O = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, use the expression below:

   Mass of  H₂O = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of  H₂O = 2(1) + 16  = 18g/mol

  Mass of  H₂O = 2 x 18  = 36g

Describe the motion of an object that has an acceleration of 0m/s2
solong [7]
Zero acceleration means the object's velocity is not changing.
So the object is moving in a straight line, at a constant speed
that could be anything (including zero) as long as it's constant.
