Please explain in simple terms why a purple flower appears purple when a white light shines on it?

1 answer:

6 0

The white light is made up of all wavelength of electromagnetic spectrum, the spectrum has different colors, When light rays fall on an object, some of the color in the white light will be absorbed by the object while some will be reflected. The color that is reflected by the object is the one that an observe will see. Thus, a purple flower will appear purple because it is reflecting the wavelength that appear as purple

A block with mass m1 = 4.50 kg and a ball with mass m2 = 7.70 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless

Allisa [31]

$1.6a = \frac{g(m_2 + m_3 - \mu km_1)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} \\ \\ 1.6a(m_1 + m_2 + m_3) = g(m_2 + m_3 - \mu km_1) \\ \\ (1.6a + \mu kg)m_1 + (1.6a - g)m_2 = (g - 1.6a)m_3 \\ \\ m_3 = \frac{1.6a +\mu kg}{g - 1.6a} m_1 - m_2 \\ \\ m_3 = 22.57 kg$

A velocity selector in a mass spectrometer uses a 0.150 T magnetic field. (a) What electric field strength (in volts per meter)

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The electric field strength is $6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field = 0.150 T

Speed $v= 4.40\times10^{6}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the electric field strength

Using formula of velocity

$v=\dfrac{E}{B}$

$E=v\times B$

Where, v = speed

B = magnetic field

Put the value into the formula

$E=4.40\times10^{6}\times0.150$

$E=660000\ V/m$

$E=6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m$

Hence, The electric field strength is $6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m$

Tristan is an engineer working on a design for a new roller coaster. He wants the car to shoot out of the station very fast but

uysha [10]

Answer:

Superconducting materials can transport electrons with no resistance, and hence release no heat, sound, or other energy forms. Superconductivity occurs at a specific material's critical temperature (Tc). As temperature decreases, a superconducting material's resistance gradually decreases until it reaches critical temperature. At this point resistance drops off, often to zero, as shown in the graph at right.
