<span>Amethyst is a crystalline quartz, its colours range from light to dark purple. The purplish colour of amethyst is due to high energy radiations, such as gamma rays, from radioactive sources, the presence of trace elements and the presence of iron found in its crystal lattice. The colour cetre created by Fe4+ is a principal contributor to the colouring of amethyst.</span>

What is meant by a colored shadow? If "shadow" means
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Explanation:

Red, green, and blue are therefore called additive primaries of light. ... When you block two lights, you see a shadow of the third color—for example, block the red and green lights and you get a blue shadow. If you block only one of the lights, you get a shadow whose color is a mixture of the other two.

First, your definition of a shadow is incorrect. A shadow is an area that receives less light than its surroundings because a specific source of light is blocked by whatever is "casting" the shadow. Your example of being outside reveals this. The sky and everything around you in the environment (unless you are surrounded by pitch black buildings) is sending more than enough light into your shadow, to reveal the pen to your eyes. The sky itself diffuses the sunlight everywhere, and the clouds reflect plenty of light when they are not directly in front of the Sun.

If you are indoors and have two light bulbs, you can throw two shadows at the same time, possibly of different darknesses, depending on the brightness of the light bulbs.

It can take a lot of work to get a room pitch black. One little hole or crack in some heavy window curtains can be enough to illuminate the room. There are very few perfectly dark shadows.

What is the heat flux (W/m^2), due to radiation heat transfer, from a black body if the surface temperature is 1000C? The convec
12345 [234]

Answer:

55000 W/m²

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Surface temperature, T = 1000°C

Hear transfer coefficient, h = 55 W/m²C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is given as:

h = Heat flux/Temperature

Hence, Heat Flux, q, is given as:

q = h * T

q = 55 * 1000 = 55000 W/m²C

The spectrum of light emitted by helium atoms is different than that emitted by hydrogen atoms because
MaRussiya [10]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The different atoms have different quantized energy levels

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The atoms of different elements have different energy levels because they have different nuclear charges and spins, and different numbers of electrons.
  • Each different kind of atom, like hydrogen or radon, has a distinct nuclear charge and number of electrons. This makes the potential energy function different for each atom, and therefore results in different energy levels.
  • In an emmission spectra, each bright band corresponds to a difference between energy levels within the atom.
