What else can I help you with?
Do an opaque object reflects the light that it does not absorb?
true
What type of colours reflect all of the colors of light?
White reflects all the colours/wavelengths of light. Oppositely black would absorb all light. Hence you don't see light from a black object, you recognize the contrast between it and its surroundings. Any colours would be a mixture of absorption and reflection. If an object is transparent it reflects no(or close to as little as possible) light. Just an explanation based on science classes. -Jess
Why does an object reflect some colours only and absorb the rest?
An object appears as a certain color because it reflects that color of light and absorbs all other colors. The color we see is the result of the light that is reflected off the object and enters our eyes. The object's pigment or surface material determines which colors are absorbed and which are reflected.
How do things get their color?
The color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light that it reflects or emits. Objects absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others, which our eyes perceive as colors. Different materials and substances absorb and reflect light in different ways, resulting in the variety of colors we see in the world.
How do you see colours in white light?
White light contains the many colors you see. The illuminated object will absorb and reflect the light as its' materials see fit. A black object will absorb all colors. A white object reflects all colors. Everything else lies in between there somewhere.
Color of an opaque object is the color of light it?
Reflects, other wavelengths (colours) are absorbed.
What colour will an object appear to be under white light if it reflects all the colours of light?
The object will appear white. When an object reflects all colors of light equally, it will appear white because white light is a combination of all colors in the visible spectrum.
What color light does green objects absorb?
Since an object is observed as the color(s) it reflects, a green object absorbs all colors and reflects green.
Describe why you see some objects as black and white?
Objects are coloured because they absorb certain frequencies and absorb others. For example a green object has absorbed red light and what was left, the green light, and so on. A white object reflects all the frequencies (colors), a black one absorbs all.
What objects reflect and absorb light?
Any object you can see reflects light. If it did not reflect any light it would be invisible. Similarly, no object is so reflective that it reflects all light. The proof that it absorbs light is that it increses in temperature as it is exposed to light.
How are the colors black and white produced?
White light is the combination of all visible colours of light (this is why when you shine white light through a prism, you see a rainbow). Black, however, is not technically a colour. It is, in fact, the absence of light.
What colour will an object appear to be under White light if it reflects all the colours of life?
The object will appear white under white light if it reflects all the colors of light. This is because white light is a combination of all visible colors in the spectrum.
