What's the difference between white and silver color? If both the sufaces are reflecting all the light frequencies, why do they look different?
mikelepore said:A polished metal, like a mirror, will reflect a ray in one particular direction. Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. That's called mirror reflection or specular reflection. If you eye isn't at that special angle then you won't see the ray. But that's no good for a movie screen. You want the movie screen to reflect rays in all random directions, so some of them will hit everyone's eye. That's called diffuse reflection. So we paint a movie screen white.
White and silver are both colors that fall under the category of "light colors," but they have some distinct differences. White is the combination of all the visible wavelengths of light, while silver is a metallic color that is reflective and appears to have a silvery-white hue.
No, white and silver are not the same color. While they may look similar, they have different physical properties and wavelengths of light that make them distinct colors.
Silver appears shiny because it reflects most of the light that hits its surface. This is due to the physical properties of the metal, specifically its molecular structure and the way light interacts with it.
There are no specific health benefits associated with the colors white or silver. However, white is often associated with cleanliness and purity, while silver is associated with modernity and sophistication.
White and silver can affect our perception of temperature, as they both reflect light and heat. White is often associated with being cool and airy, while silver can give the illusion of being cool and sleek.
