Why do you see things as certain colors?
Because colors are absorbed the color reflected of is the color we see. For example apples are red every other color is absorbed but red is reflected off the apple.
What happens to the light waves when it goes through a spectrum?
When light goes through a spectrum, the waves are split into different colors, or spectra. The colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. That way, you can distinguish what type of light or element is is by counting the number of each type of color.
Can your eyes only see colors that bounce off or are reflected by an object?
Yes, everything you see is the light that is reflected by objects/materials. It is the properties of a material that determines the color of the light it reflects.
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.
What color is reflected if you see a blue color?
Blue because all colors are absorbed except blue.
What colors do humans see?
The colors that you see are the colors that are being reflected back at you
Why animals see in black and white?
Some animals can see in full color like humans. Though some animals have cones in their retina (which are used to see color) that cant distinguish the colors other than the color black (when no light is reflected off the surface) and the color white (all light is reflected). All the other colors are just the amount of light that's absorbed and reflected, the darker colors would show up close to the color black.
Is black the base of colors?
No, black is a mixture of all colors. Color is produced by reflected light is reflected. Like a red object absorbs all colors but red, which is being reflected and is what you see. Black reflects all colors, and whites absorbs all.
When you see colors what color is reflected and what color is absorbed?
Black is absorbed! White is reflected. :)

Because colors are absorbed the color reflected of is the color we see. For example apples are red every other color is absorbed but red is reflected off the apple.
How come you see colors?
Colour does not exist only reflected light
What two colors are reflected for us to see yellow?
red and yellow
Why can you see colors?
White light, such as from the sun, contains all the colors of the visible spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) when light hits an object some of the colors from the white light are absorbed and others are reflected off the object. The colors that are reflected are the ones we see. Small cells in our retinas (cones, and rods) detect the reflected color and send a message to our brain. for example an apple absorbs all colors except for red, thus that color is the one we see.

What objects are made up of all the colors of the rainbow?
Every thing. some objects reflect some colors(the colors that we see) and absorb all others(the ones we don't see). the colors that are reflected and blend to make all the different colors.
