Explain in your own words how chlorophyll makes a leaf look green

Geography

rusak2 [61]3 years ago
3 0
In simple terms, chlorophyll makes a leaf look green because it reflects only green light. Answering in a more detailed fashion, chlorophyll is a pigment. As a pigment it absorbs some wavelengths of visible light, (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are the colors of visible light), while reflecting others. In specific, chlorophyll absorbs all other colors of light but green, which it reflects. It is this reflection of green light that cause a leaf to appear green.

How does the advancement of women's rights serve as the foundation of India's policies to discourage population growth?
Doss [256]
When Women's rights increase so too usually does their formal education, which allows them to have more high paying jobs and they can then tell their husbands, no I cannot have a kid right now because I have to work and support this family and the husband cannot say no because if she gets pregnant they lose income, party of which is why Japan has such a low birth rate, because they have a very high women working rate. But on the other hand Niger has a very low amount of women in the work force, this is because they have very little rights. I hope I helped I learned this in Ap human geography class

9. Given similar triangles ABC and PQR with AB = 4 and PQ = 7.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Given:

Similar triangles ABC and PQR with AB = 4 and PQ = 7.

To find:

The scale factor, ratio of perimeters, and ratio of areas.

Solution:

In similar figures the scale factor is the ratio of side or image and corresponding side of original figure.

In similar triangles ABC and PQR, the scale factor is

k=\dfrac{PQ}{AB}

k=\dfrac{7}{4}

The scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle PQR is \dfrac{7}{4}.

The ratio of the perimeters of similar triangles is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides.

\dfrac{\text{Perimeter of }\Delta ABC}{\text{Perimeter of }\Delta PQR}=\dfrac{AB}{PQ}

\dfrac{\text{Perimeter of }\Delta ABC}{\text{Perimeter of }\Delta PQR}=\dfrac{4}{7}

\dfrac{\text{Perimeter of }\Delta ABC}{\text{Perimeter of }\Delta PQR}=4:7

The ratio of the perimeters is 4:7.

The ratio of the areas of similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.

\dfrac{\text{Area of }\Delta ABC}{\text{Area of }\Delta PQR}=\dfrac{AB^2}{PQ^2}

\dfrac{\text{Area of }\Delta ABC}{\text{Area of }\Delta PQR}=\dfrac{4^2}{7^2}

\dfrac{\text{Area of }\Delta ABC}{\text{Area of }\Delta PQR}=\dfrac{16}{49}

\dfrac{\text{Area of }\Delta ABC}{\text{Area of }\Delta PQR}=16:49

Therefore, the ratio of the areas is 16:49.
