The short wavelengths are faster so you've got to catch them early when you're fresh. The longer wavelengths are slower so they're still easy to catch when you're worn out.
They travel from point a to point b at the same speed, but the higher frequencies are "moving" faster along the way (it's hard to put that image into words but you know what I'm saying).
You are viewing the wave as a point source. I'm unsure it really works that way. However, if it makes you feel better, shorter wavelengths require more energy to travel the same distance (based on the inverse square law of power), so I will concede your point about eating the shorter wavelengths first to capture the most possible energy from them based on energy remaining. But I will counter that since you do not know how far the M&M's have traveled, the longer wavelength colors will retain more energy at any given distance than the shorter wavelengths, assuming they all start with the same energy quotient.
They'll only have travelled the distance from them to your eyes, since you're really not seeing the candy, you're seeing the light reflected off of it.
When I took a typing class back in high school, I started "ghost typing" everything I heard. Class lectures, conversations with people, everything I heard on TV, all of it. If I was at a table or desk, I'd position my hands like they were on a keyboard, index fingers on the home keys. Sometimes if I thought someone might see what I was doing, I'd put my hands on my thighs. I'd just type away, everything I heard, tapping imaginary keys. If I was standing and didn't have anything to rest my hands on, my fingers would still move, reaching for the proper imaginary key. I couldn't control the compulsion to do it at all for years, and it was over a decade before managed to stop completely. I would miss out on entire conversations because I was so focused on ghost typing I wouldn't really absorb what was being said.
No. The brown M&M absorbs all the light frequencies except those that it reflects, creating the brown color. Brown is not a primary color, so it contains elements of the three subtractive primaries - C M and Y.
I thought I was the only one to ever do that. I'm very OCD about my email inbox. The only items in the inbox are ones that require my action. My boss has over 3000 emails in her inbox, it makes me uncomfortable.
This thread is serving its purpose. @Yzasserina, I have 22,028 but I cleaned mine out just over a year ago. -jim
