What happens as white light hits black ink on a piece of white paper?
The light is absorbed by the black ink and reflected by the white paper surrounding the ink. That is why you can see the ink clearly.
Does paper absorb light?
yes it does i think
Can coloured pieces of paper absorb light?
no they can't because they cant reflect
What happens when light shines on green paper?
a green object it will reflect a green light and will absorb all other colours.
Assume the light wave directed at the paper is white light and the paper contains pigments that absorb the wavelengths of red-orange-yellow-blue-indigo-violet What color will the paper appear to huma?
Green
What is the purpose of black paper in his experiment?
to absorb light easily
Why does black paper absorb light faster than white paper?
This is because back aborbs heat where as white reflects heat
Does a pure red paper appear black in pure blue light?
it should do objects absorb all light except light of the colour of the object if there is no light of that colour the object appears black

Can a black solution or object such as black paper absorb all wavelengths of light?
In general, black objects absorb all wavelengths of light, so the answer "Yes." might apply here. But it should also be noted that the answer applies to optical wavelengths (visible light) only. There is light both above (ultraviolet) and below (infrared) the visible spectrum that may or may not be absorbed by a solution or object that appears to be black to a person with normal color perception.
Does paper absorb heat?
Depending on the source of the heat energy: -A darker piece of paper would absorb more energy from light sources, then a white piece of paper. This is due to the fact that the white piece of paper would reflect most of the light energy, whereas the dark paper would absorb that energy. This light energy can then be converted into heat energy, leading the dark paper to have more heat energy then the white paper -Heat from a source such as hot water being poured on the paper, would not lead to any color related heat difference
Can coloured pieces of paper absorb light?
no they can't because they cant reflect
How does light reflect off paper?
The light spectrum is composed of multiple wave lengths. Different objects will either absorb or reflect particular wavelengths of light. Humans can actually only perceive 3 different categories of light, red, green, and blue.When you perceive white paper, you are perceiving all 3 components of visible light, red, green, and blue. The bleaching and the construction of white paper is thus made to remove the components that absorb light, and leave the components that reflect light. There is an element of glossiness which is the ability to reflect light directly, and flatness which would be the ability to scatter light when reflecting, giving a white finish rather than a mirrored finish.If you look at red paper, then the green and blue wavelengths of light are absorbed by the paper, and the red wavelength is being reflected back.If you look at green paper, then the red and blue wavelengths of light are being absorbed, and the green is being reflected back.If you look at blue paper, then the red and green wavelengths of light are being absorbed, and the blue wavelength is being reflected back.Black paper will absorb essentially all of the light.Different colors will reflect and absorb the three basic components of light in varying amounts.
What happens when white light reflects from a white paper?
The surface will look Red, because white reflects all colours and absorb none. If you hit a red light on, say, green then that would look black because green will absorb all the red but if it was a green light then it would look green. Every colour, except white, absorbs colours except itselves.
What happens when light shines on green paper?
a green object it will reflect a green light and will absorb all other colours.
