What characteristic of light determines what color it appears?

Chemistry
1 answer:
goldenfox [79]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Light is made up of wavelengths of light, and each wavelength is a particular colour. The colour we see is a result of which wavelengths are reflected back to our eyes. The visible spectrum showing the wavelengths of each of the component colours. The spectrum ranges from dark red at 700 nm to violet at 400 nm.The 'colour' of an object is the wavelengths of light that it reflects. This is determined by the arrangement of electrons in the atoms of that substance that will absorb and re-emit photons of particular energies according to complicated quantum laws.The reason that different waves of light appear to be different colors of light is because the color of a light wave depends on its wavelength. For example, the wavelength of blue light is about 450 nanometers, while the wavelength of red light is about 700 nanometers.

Which option defines kinetic energy?(1 point)
MAVERICK [17]

The option which accurately defines kinetic energy from the choices above is:

the energy an object has because of its motion

The correct answer choice is option c

In order words, kinetic energy is that type of energy which a body or an object posess due to its relative motion.

<h3>What is energy?</h3>

Energy can simply be defined as the capacity of doing work.

Energy is a derived quantity; meaning that it is obtained from the combination of fundamental quantities.

The unit of energy joules.

Other examples of derived quantities just like energy too are:

  • Volume
  • Speed
  • Acceleration
  • Density.
  • Upthrust
  • Momentum
  • Momentum
  • Power
  • Pressure
  • Force

Below are some few forms of energy; these are:

  • Kinetic energy
  • Potential energy
  • Mechanical energy
  • Solar energy
  • Light energy
  • Chemical energy

So therefore, the option which accurately defines kinetic energy from the choices above is:

the energy an object has because of its motion
