AI Thread Summary
Leaves appear green because they reflect green light and do not absorb it. If the biological or chemical properties of a leaf are altered to prevent it from absorbing green light, the leaf would reflect other wavelengths, resulting in a different color. The discussion emphasizes that changing these properties could lead to leaves appearing in colors that correspond to the light they reflect. This concept hinges on the relationship between light absorption and reflection in plant biology. Ultimately, altering a leaf's properties could change its perceived color significantly.

I was watching the video on youtube provided by monkeysee.com explaining the reason we see leaf green is because it does not absorb green light hence reflects green light to our eye.
So it means if some how we change the biological/chemical properties of a leaf we won't see it as green? In other words we make leaf not absorb the green light then what?

That's right. It would appear to be whatever color isn't absorbed.
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
