Is it true that the color an object appears to be is the color of light that is absorbs?

NO it is not true an OBJECT appears colour because it reflect that colour


When all colors are absorbed by an object the object appears to be what color?

Black


Is the color of an object the sum of the color it will reflect or transmit?

The colour an object appears to be is the colour of the light it is reflecting.


What dominant color appears for an incandescent bulb?

The answer is a blue-green colour.


The color that an object appears to be depends on the?

angle at which visible light is reflected off the object.


Why an opaque or non luminous appears to be certain color?

First, you must understand that all color is determined by red blue and yellow light in different combinations. Any color is caused by light being reflected off the object. A red object for example reflects red light, and absorbs blue and yellow.


What is the color of an opaque object determined by?

the wave length of light that is absorbed by the object determines color--White refects all eye perceptible colors where as black absorbes The colour of an opaque object is determined by the wavelength of the visible spectrum that it reflects. Light is made up of 7 colours, each having a specific wavelength range. Consider an object which appears green to the eye. Actually the object is not green in colour, it only reflects the waves pertaining to green wavelength range. All other wavelength are either transmitted or absorbed. The reflected wave reaches our retina and is perceived as that colour.


What appears when all the colors is absorbed by the object?

When light of all colors (wavelengths) is absorbed by an object, the object appears black.


Why plants look like green?

The color that something appears is related to the wavelengths of light that it absorbs. White light contains many different wavelengths. Different objects absorb different wavelengths contained in light. The color than an object appears to our eyes is actually determined by the wavelength of light in the visible spectrum that the object does not absorb. Instead the object reflects this light back at us.


Why substance are coloured?

The color of an object is determined by its inherent properties and the light source used to illuminate it.Some colors are absorbed, some are reflected and others can pass through (if transparent). Which is which and how much - is determined by its wavelength. The reflected light is what we call the color of the object.


If white light shines on an object and the object appears blue, this means that?

The object reflects blue light more than it does any other color.


Is color a property of an object?

Yes. The colour of an object is determined by what frequenc(y/ies) of electromagnetic wave it emits in the visible spectrum. The colour of an object is a physical property of that object.
