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.
Why do dark colors attract more light and heat than light colors?
They do not attract light, they absorb it, that is why they are darker. Light colors reflect more light (to your eyes), that is why they are light. it has to do with the light energy that doesn't stop, lighter colors tend to reflect when there isn't a place for the light to bounce off of it has to stop and the energy remains as heat because dark traps the light and doesn`t let go
What is the difference between two different colors of light?
The frequency of the EM wave determines the amount of energy it contains. Therefore, different colors of light have different frequencies and amount of energy.
What type of energy absorbs dark colors?
It is the dark colors that absorb energy, not the other way round. Dark colors have a tendency to absorb more light, as well as electromagnetic waves with frequencies close to those of visible light.
How did the invention of the light bulb effect technology?
The invention of the light bulb affected how energy was used.
Do dark colors create more heat than the light colors?
Yes. Light is visible electromagnetic radiation. Dark colors absorb more light, so they absorb more energy and release it as heat energy. Light colors do the opposite, they reflect light.

What are the most energy rich wavelengths of light?
The most energy rich colors of light are those with the shortest wavelength - violet or blue
Why do darker colors absorb the most heat?
White light is a mixture of colors. When white light strikes a dark object little or no energy is reflected. When white light strikes a white object the energy is mostly reflected, not absorbed.Miissmeg.
Do all colors of light have the same energy?
Actually no. Energy equals Planck's constant times frequency.
What pigment reflects green light and absorbs other colors of light to provide energy for photosynthesis?
chlorophyl
Why do darker surfaces heat up more than lighter ones when light hits them?
Dark colors absorb light creating thermal energy. Light colors reflect more light and heat away.
