you can see light and colour due to the specific cells on the retina of the eye. these cells are called rods and cones. Rod cells allow you to see in the dark but do not allow you to see colour hence why in the dark everything is black and white. the cone cells allow you to see colour by picking up different wavelengths of light. the amount of these cone cells picking up a certain wavelength for example a lot pick up a blue wavelength, then the more of the cone cells detect this, the darker the blue colour appears.

How does wavelength affect sound and light?
Sound - pitch Light - color.
When you see color is it being reflected or absorbed?
Light that's absorbed is not there any more for anyone to see. You 'see' an object by the light that's reflected from it. If you see color, then it's the color that's NOT absorbed.
What color do you see when red light is reflected on a green surface?
You see the color black.
What you see when reflected wavelengths of light reach your eyes?
it sees the color of an object or shine of light
The quality in sound that corresponds to color in light is?
sound and light both share wave properties (ie. frequency and wave length). unlike sound light behaves as both a wave and a particle.
How does wavelength affect sound and light?
Sound - pitch Light - color.
Why you see light first then sound after?
light travel faster than sound. see in real life we see lightning first then we hear the thunder.
How do you see color objects?
you see coloured objects by the light. light makes the color of the object
What is happening when you see the color red?
When you see the color red, you are seeing red light reflect off of a surface. This means that any other color light that hits that object is absorbed into the surface. The exception to this is when you see red light, in that case you are seeing light that does not contain any other color of light.
When your retina is struck with with red light and green light what color do you see?
the color is purple
When you see color is it being reflected or absorbed?
Light that's absorbed is not there any more for anyone to see. You 'see' an object by the light that's reflected from it. If you see color, then it's the color that's NOT absorbed.
Do budgies see in ultraviolet light?
they can see in color.
What color do you see when red light is reflected on a green surface?
You see the color black.
What sense organism helps your see light and color?
The sense organ that has rods and cones that help you see light and color is the retina.
What you see when reflected wavelengths of light reach your eyes?
it sees the color of an object or shine of light
Why color objects s are the color they are?
The color is reflected by the light to your eyes. That is why you see color.
The quality in sound that corresponds to color in light is?
sound and light both share wave properties (ie. frequency and wave length). unlike sound light behaves as both a wave and a particle.
