b) What frequencies do large particles scatter?

2. What is a spectroscope, and what is its funtion?

3. Does the red light from glowing neon gas have only one frequency or a mixture of frequencies?

4. Why might atomic spectra be considered the "fingerprints" of atoms?

5. What is the name of the color produced by a mixture of green and blue light?

6. What colors of spots are lit on a television tube to give full color?

7. What are complementary colors?

8. What color is the complement of blue?

( Short Answers will be highly appreciated )

Thanks in return :)

I'm wondering why you consider these "quite confusing". Each asks for a specific piece of information. Nothing confusing about that. There is no problem to solve or reasoning to do. If you do not already know the information asked for, you look it up in your textbook.

its hard for me :frown:
 
Some of these answers will be in google.com!
If you textbook doesn't have them...
