Light Absorption and Transmission

lundi 30 juin 2014

Hello all, I had a question out of curiosity. Say you have a green piece of paper. This paper is green because it absorbs the wavelength of lights corresponding to the other colors of the visible spectrum and reflects (transmits) green light, thus appearing green. If one were to shine a laser that is also green (the same green as the paper), would the paper heat up or would nothing happen? I would imagine it would heat up if it were a laser that was not green as the paper would absorb the light, but what if the laser is green?
