When white light strikes a red object, the object would appear red. The object would have reflected the red light within the white light while all other colours would have been absorbed.

When blue light strikes a red object, it would appear black as there is no red light in blue light as it is a primary colour. As a result, the blue light would be completely absorbed by the red object. So no light would be reflected from the object.

When violet light strikes a red object, it would appear red, as violet is a combination of blue and red light. The blue light would be absorbed while the red light would be reflected.

It is good to learn and revise the light spectrum and primary and secondary light colours.

Primary light colours are: Red, Green and Blue

Secondary light colours are: Yellow, Cyan and Violet

The combinations are:

Red + Green = Yellow

Green + Blue = Cyan

Blue + Red = Violet (or Magenta depending on how you have been taught)

What happens to the different colors of light when white light shines on opaque violet object?

White light contains all the wavelengths of the visible spectrum at equal intensity. The different colors of light, except violet, are absorbed when white light shines on an opaque violet object. The violet color is reflected.

What happens when light strikes a opaque object?

All the light is absorbed, except that portion of the spectrum matching the object's color. That particular bandwidth is reflected. Hence a yellow object appears yellow, and a blue object appears blue. Black objects absorb light without reflecting any, while white objects reflect almost all the visible light which strikes them. The object may then emit the absorbed energy in the infrared spectrum (heat).


What happens when white light shines on a violet object?

When white light shines onto a violet object, the violet part of white light reflects off of the object, causing you to see violet. White light it ROYGBIV, which is the colours of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet). So white light IS the combination of ALL of these colours.


What happens to light energy when it is absorbed by an opaque object?

Since the object appears violet to your eye, it must be that violet light is the wavelength most efficiently reflected ... least efficiently absorbed ... by the object. To a greater or lesser degree, all wavelengths that are not reflected from the object are absorbed by it.


What happens to light waves when it strikes an object?

light can do one of 4 things. it can, a] bounce off of an object, b] get absorbed, or c] be dispersed. this happens when white light goes through a prism, and comes out as all colors of the visible spectrum, ROYGBIV. [red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet] and refract d]
