What color light is transmitted through a piece of red glass?
I thought it would be red?
I thought it would be red?
Red glass transmits red light because its molecular structure selectively absorbs all other wavelengths of light except for red. This means that when white light passes through red glass, all colors except for red are absorbed, resulting in only red light being transmitted.
No, red glass is specifically designed to only transmit red light. Other colors of light will be absorbed by the glass and will not pass through.
The color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light that it reflects or transmits. In the case of red glass, it transmits red light and absorbs all other colors, giving it a red appearance.
Yes, the thickness of the red glass can affect the intensity or brightness of the transmitted red light. Thicker glass may appear darker or more saturated, while thinner glass may appear lighter or more transparent.
Yes, red glass can both transmit and reflect red light. The amount of light that is reflected depends on the angle of incidence and the surface properties of the glass.
