What is an instrument that breaks the light from an object into colors?
a spectograph
What is an example of an object that breaks white light to show different colors (like a rainbow)?
That's called - a prism.
The color of an object depends on the reflection and the absorption of light how?
-- The colors of light that the object absorbsare gone, and aren'tavailable to proceed to your eye.-- The colors of light that the object reflectsproceed from the objectto your eye. They are the colors that the object "looks" to you.
The colors of light that object are the colors you see?
reflect
Which colors of light do you see when you look at an opaque object?
All the colors that are NOT absorbed by the object.
What is the instrument that breaks the light from an object into color?

Are the colors of light that objects absorb the colors you see?
No, the colors you see are the colors that are reflected by the object. White light is composed of several different wavelengths of energy, these different energies correspond to different visible colors. When an object absorbs the light, it absorbs its energy, the rest of the energy is reflected from the surface. That energy is what you see in the form of photons (light). So, if an object looks blue to you, that object is absorbing red light.
What happens to the colors of white light when it hits opaque colored surfaces?
any colors that are not part of the color of the object are absorbed by the object. light of the colors that do make up the color of the object are reflected back to your eyes.
What color does an object appear to be if it absorbs all the colors of light?
If an object absorbs all the colors of light, it will appear to be black. It is the reflected part of the spectrum that gives an object its color.
What is a spectroscope?
a spectroscope is a device that breaks up light into a spectrum of colors.
What does the color of visible light depend on?
the color of the light it reflects and absorbs. If the object reflects red and absorbs all other colors, the object will appear red.
What is a special instrument for breaking up light?
Prism ...it breaks up light into different colors.
