A film of oil on a puddle in a parking lot shows a variety of bright colors in swirled patches. What can you say about the thickness of the oil film? (a) It is much less than the wavelength of visible light. (b) It is on the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of visible light. (c) It is much greater than the wavelength of visible light. (d) It might have any relationship to the wavelength of visible light.
A ballet dancer is on stage dressed in a green body suit. How could you light the stage so that the dancer's costume looked black to the audience? Light it green so that it absorbs the color of the dress. Light it red because red cancels out the green Light it any color except fro green, since a green dress reflects green. Light it with black light, so that it makes it black.
A student is sitting outside on a sunny day looking at a book with a blue cover. She is explaining to her friend how she can see the book cover as blue. She said: "I can see the book cover as blue because light from the sun travels in straight lines to the book. The white light from the sun contains red, green, and blue light. When it strikes the book cover, the blue light is reflected at equal angles, while the rest of the colors are absorbed in the book cover. The reflected blue light then enters my eye, and I see the book cover as blue." Evaluate her explanation to determine whether it is good or poor, by choosing one of the following responses: O It is problematic because the idea that "the white light from the sun contains red, green, and blue," is not correct. It is problematic because the idea that "mostly the blue light energies are reflected at equal angles," is not correct. It is good because all the ideas are correct scientific ideas, and none of the important ideas are…
The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 A beam of white light in this glass strikes the glass-air interface at a 20.10° angle of incidence and refracts out into the air. What is the angular separation between the red and violet components of the spectrum that emerges from the glass? angular separation: 0.2995 Incorrect

You are in a room lit only by yellow light. A pillow in that room looks red you. (your eyes red + green light as yellow, your eyes see red + blue light as magenta; your eyes see green and blue light as cyan) a) What colors of light is the pillow reflecting in the yellow room? What colors of light is the chair absorbing in that room? Explain b) You then move the pillow into a room lit only by blue light. The pillow now looks blue.

A beam of green light enters glass from air, at an angle of incidence = 24 degrees. The frequency of green light = 559 x 1012 Hz. Refractive index of glass = 1.56. Speed of light in air = 3 x 10° m/s. What will be its wavelength inside the glass? Write your answer in terms of nanometers.
Choose the correct statement. For light, we can call white a tertiary color because RED + BLUE + GREEN = WHITE. O For light, we can call white a tertiary color because GREEN + MAGENTA = WHITE. O We cannot call white a tertiary color. For light, we can call white a tertiary color because YELLOW + MAGENTA + CYAN = WHITE.
