118 – Light Absorption, Reflection, and Transmission
In this video Paul Andersen explains how light can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted as it moves from one medium to another. The reflection of different wavelengths creates the perceived color of an object. Absorbed light is converted to energy and transmitted light moves through the material.

Do you really believe the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything? The Bible is supernatural in origin. Therefore take heed to its promise of Heaven and warning of Hell. Let’s see if you qualify to enter Heaven: Have you ever lied (even once – fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything – the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we’ve only looked at three of the Ten Commandments. That’s how God sees you. Nothing is hidden from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell. That’s not God’s will. He provided a way for you to be forgiven. He sent His Son to take your punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death: "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Pray something like this: "Dear God, I repent of all of my sins (name them). This day I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen." Then read the Bible daily and obey what you read (see John 14:21). God will never let you down. http://www.livingwaters.com For more evidence of the Bible’s inspiration see http://www.evidencebible.com or The Evidence Bible (Bridge-Logos Publishers) – at your local bookstore.

what are you using i wanna make vids like you so plz tell me
so if the leaves underside is purple on the outside, it's only purple on the inside, right? in order to reflect?
Im sorry but how do you hold light in your hand? i feel like this should have been explained on a deeper level.
Thanks so much sir…❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
u just cleared a doubt my teacher could'nt explain when i was in class 5th
you suck
Sort of because you are saying that one medium(Gummy bears) Is doing all three. Reflecting, transmission, and absorption. I AM CONFUSED
me
Also he looks like a toxic kid from fortnite raging just because they lost some bullets
Who else doing this for a school project…
So how do computers show us color on our screens?
Your videos are excellent! I use them every week in my Science classes.
Best explanation and real world examples 👌🏼
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.
THANK YOU SO MUCH

I went on a long bike ride at 12 pm under the sun wearing all black. All I could think about was if wearing black was the best choice. Like, most bikers wear bright green or yellow outfits. I was super confused so I looked it up on youtube as soon as I got home and fortunately found this video. When I took off my clothes I noticed that my skin was fresh and not burnt at all, most of the energy was absorbed by my shirt, not like other times when I went out wearing brighter colors.
Rad shit.
