Jim Gilmore Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Recently while watching a show on tv they said that gold at the microscopic level was red.So why do we see yellow ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homefire Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Color you see is because the object your looking at reflects that color.If gold is in the Microscopic level it reflect the color RED.Red is a component of the color Yellow.A TV has three guns. One Activates a Red emitting Phosphorous , One activates a Green Phosphorus, and one activates a Blue emitting Phosphorus.If you add all those colors together, you see White. Go Figure. Iron looks like Metallic when whole. When Oxidized it looks Red.Aluminum looks Metallic when whole. When Oxidized it looks White.White or Red , they are still the Eliments and can be converted back to the Metallic state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedrock Bob Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 KEWL! At NASA they used a dosimeter with gold salts to detect Hydrazine exposure in the lab and in the capsule. It turned red upon exposure to the toxins like they said in the presentation. Those nanoparticles that I have found are still yellow.
