Actual Pasho
A ballet dancer is on stage dressed in a green body suit. How could you light the stage so that the dancer's costume looked black to the audience?
Light it green so that it absorbs the color of the dress.
Light it red because red cancels out the green
Light it any color except fro green, since a green dress reflects green.
Light it with black light, so that it makes it black.

The heater is a flat, closed box with excellent thermal insulation. Its interior is painted black, and its front face is made of insulating glass. Its emissivity for visible light is 0.900, and its emissivity for infrared light is 0.700. Light from the noontime Sun is incident perpendicular to the glass with an intensity of 1 000 W/m2, and no water enters or leaves the box. Find the steady-state temperature of the box’s interior. (b) What If? The homeowner builds an identical box with no water tubes. It lies flat on the ground in front of the house. He uses it as a cold frame, where he plants seeds in early spring. Assuming the same noontime Sun is at an elevation angle of 50.0°, find the steady-state temperature of the interior of the box when its ventilation slots are tightly closed.arrow_forward11) A 0.5 mW He-Ne laser beam with wavelength = 632.8 nm is initially traveling in a vacuum system and is incident on a smooth diamond surface with index of refraction, n = 2.42 for diamond.
