Explain why we see different colors (include reflection and absorption in your response)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Monica [59]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

I honestly love this subject because its so intersting

Explanation:

Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflected colors.

Example:

When you look at a Goldfish, you see the color orange. But that is not the case. What is happening is the goldfish's scales are absorbing all the colors exept orange, the color orange is bouncing off the scales and into our eyes, and thats what we see. Black is regecting all colors and white is absorbing it all.

lana [24]

Answer:

(a) OPTION E=4

b) option E C sp² + C p

Explanation:

DEGREE OF UNSATURATION = C -H/2 -X/2 +N/2 +1

X IS HALOGENS

5-5/2+1/2+1=  4

b) Ethene comprises of two sp2-hybridized carbon atoms (bound to each other by sigma and two atoms each with hydrogen). The remaining unhybridized carbon p orbitals form a pi bond, giving ethene reactivity

A cube of ice melts in a beaker to form 10 g of water. What is the best estimate of the mass of the ice cube?
prohojiy [21]
I think the answer is 10g
when you freeze a specific amount of water into an ice cube, only the form and the density is changed, while the mass will be pretty much the same. 
Probably the mass of the melted water will be a little bit less than the cube (if count the mass that released to the air) , but the amount will NOT BE SIGNIFICANT.

At room temperature, the surface tension of water is 72.0 mJ·m–2. What is the energy required to change a spherical drop of wate
Keith_Richards [23]
It is given that the surface area of sphere is 4 π r² and its volume is (4/3 π r³)
With a diameter of 1.2 mm you have a radius of 0.6 mm so the surface area about 4.5 mm² and the volume is about 0.9 mm³ 
The total surface energy of the original droplet is (4.5 x 10⁻⁶ m x 72) = 3.24 x 10⁻⁴mJ
The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original so:
5 V = 0.9 mm³ so the volume of smaller sphere will equal 0.18 mm³
Since this smaller volume still have volume (4/3 π r³) so r = 0.35 mm
Each of the smaller droplets has a surface are = 1.54 mm² 
The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplet is then (5 x 1.54 x 10⁻⁶ m x 72) = 5.54 x 10⁻⁴ mJ
From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 5.54 x 10⁻⁴ and the difference in energy is (5.54 x 10⁻⁴) - (3.24 x 10⁻⁴) = 2.3 x 10⁻⁴ mJ
Therefore we need about 2.3 x 10⁻⁴ mJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.2 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets

What is Potential energy
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

energy that's waiting to happen

Explanation:

as an example if you throw a ball up in the air potential energy is going to happen when it comes down that's going to be energy basically I don't know if you get it but it's called potential energy
