Question

Does anyone know the relationship between an observed color and wavelength of maximum absorbance?

Answer 1

absorbance is dependent on the material that the light is hitting

Answer 2

your question doesnt make that much sense without context

Answer 3

Well so in lab class we used little glass containers and put a red solution in it, than used this machine to see the maximum absorbance of red which was 460-540nm, and the question says what is the relationship between the color red and the maximum absorbance?

Answer 4

@sooobored

Answer 5

red wavelengths will reflect off of red surfaces, this is how we see color

Answer 6

the more red wavelengths that is reflected off the material, then the "redder" the material

Answer 7

or the more red light being absorbed and less red being detected, then the less red the material is

Answer 8

ohhhhh! ok!

Answer 9

i dont know exactly how your machine works, but thats the general idea for color and reflected wavelengths

Answer 10

Thank you so much!
