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
Does the color yellow absorb light?
red and green
Which of these are the pigments that absorb blue-violet and blue-green light and reflect red orange and yellow light?
carotenoids
Does a red flower absorb red light?
No it reflects the red light, thats why we see it as red
What color or colors of light are transmitted by a piece of yellow glass?
Red and green light. Yellow glass transmits yellow light. Yellow light is a combination of red and green light. Therefore yellow glass transmits red and green light and absorbs blue light.

Green
Does the color yellow absorb light?
red and green
Why are strawberrys are red?
Strawberries are red, because they absorb red, yellow, and orange light.
What color of light is reflected by Xanthophylls?
Xanthophylls primarily absorb green-blue light.
Which of these are the pigments that absorb blue-violet and blue-green light and reflect red orange and yellow light?
carotenoids
What is happening to the light to give a banana on television the appearance that it is yellow?
The only colors our eyes could see is red, blue,and green light. So in the case of the yellow looking banana, it is reflecting the red and green light into our eyes and has small pigments in the yellow color to absorb blue light.
Chlorophyll reflects which color of light?
carotenoids: absorb blue- violet chlorophyll: absorb red and also blue-violet reflect red-yellow reflect green
Does yellow absorb green and red?
false
What cone cells absorb yellow light?
There are three types of cones on the retina, which respond most strongly to either red, green, or blue light. Your brain interprets light entering your eye as a certain color (in this case yellow) based on the ratio of red, green, or blue cones which are activated by the incoming light. Yellow light would activate green and red cones.
Why does a red strawberry appear to be red?
The same reason why red roses appear red, or anything else appears red for that matter. Objects appear red when they absorb all other colours of light (remember, light from the sun is a spectrum of Red-Orange-Yellow-Green-Blue-Indigo-Violet). So strawberries absorb orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet rays of light emitted from the sun. They reflect back all red rays of light from the sun, which go into your eyes, which we see, hence strawberries appear red.
Do plants grow well with yellow light?
Since yellow is only weakly absorbed by the pigments, the plant will grow slowly if at all. Violet, blue and some red light is most strongly absorb.
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.
