What colors of light are reflected by an opaque white objects?
White light is all the colors of light. Which are magenta,yellow,and cyan being the main three colors that are reflected by an opaque white object
What happens to the light rays that are not reflected by and object?
that color is absorbed by the object (therefore you don't see that color. Only reflected colors can be seen)
When all colors are absorbed what color is the item?
The object appears black when no colors are reflected. (In actuality, some light is reflected by all objects, making black simply a very dark gray.)
Which surface are light rays reflected?
Any opaque or translucent surface will reflect light rays. The rays that are reflected are the one that you see- something blue would reflect blue light. IF the object is Opaque the rest of the light is absorbed. If it is translucent some light is absorbed while some passes through. Black objects absorb all colours of light while white objects reflects all colours of light. There are also some special objects such as mirrors that are highly reflective a produce an image by reflecting back the rays of light emitted from other objects.
How does light allow us to see?
Objects absorb light at certain frequencies and reflects light at other frequencies. The reason we see colours is because that is the frequency of light reflected, the reason we see black is because all colours are absorbed....it's nothing. So the reason we see objects is because light is reflected from them, this light then meets our eyes and creates an image.
Isaac Newton wondered what light was made of He thought light was white and found all over the universe When he shined light through a prism he saw the colors of the rainbow He concluded that whit?
He concluded that white light consists of: Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet Coloured light. (People commonly use rhymes to remember this, such as: Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vein, Runn Off You Girls, Boys In View etc) White objects is all light reflected, black objects is all light absorbed, red objects is red reflected, green is green reflected etc
Why do black objects are seen black?
The "color" black is not really a color. Black is the absence of light. Black objects have pigments that absorb all light and, therefore, none is reflected for us to be able to see.
Why it is possible to see non-luminous objects?
It's often possible to see non-luminous objects if you illuminate them with a source of light, such as a flashlight, a candle, or a drop of golden sunshine. No object absorbs all of the light that falls on it, so some light is always reflected from it, and some of that reflected light finds its way to your eye. Once any of the light falling on the object has reflected from it, it's very much as if the object were self-luminous.
What colors do white objects absorb?
White is the resultant of all colors being reflected. White objects of course absorb some light but due reflect all the colors of the rainbow as we see them.
What is the role of light in making us see anything around us?
It is the light because of which we are able to see things. The light rays fall on objects and get reflected. These rays when enter our eyes let us visualize the thing from which it was reflected. If light wouldn't be there then we won't be able to see anything at all.
What colors are reflected from black?
no color can be reflected from black because it absorbs all the light!!! but anything can be reflected off of white and all those light colors...
Why do you see objects and their color?
You see objects because visible light( a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) is reflected off the surface of something into your eye. All different colors have a different wavelength which defines their frequency. When you see a red object, that object is absorbing all the colors except for red which is then reflected into your eye.
