How is white paper seen. In science we did about seeing red paper. He said all the colours of the rainbow come from a source of light and then only red reflects off the paper. How is white different?

White light is simply pure light; it is a mix of all the colors of light. You can test this by putting a crystal prism near a light and admiring the rainbow. The prism has separated the white light into all its different colors.
We can see white things, like bleached paper, because it simply reflects nearly all light, therefore appearing as white to us. Of course, even paper isn't perfect. It has ridges and texture. The tiny, tiny shadows that lie in these ridges help our eyes to recognize an object is sitting in front of us.

Describe the beauty of a rainbow and how has rainbow been stripped of all it's charms?
An aspect of the rainbow's beauty is the science behind it. A rainbow is the result of the distorted reflection of sunlight in water droplets. Another aspect of the rainbow that makes it beautiful is its transience and spectacular colours. The rainbow should be appreciated for its natural and potent beauty.
What are science indicators made of?
Science indicators are made up of a number of chemicals so that they give different colours for recognition in different solutions.
What is a manipulated variable for the rainbow fire science experiment?
different types of chemicals
What is a science instrument that bends light?
The science instrument is called Prism. It actually does not bend light. It separates the light into seven different colours.
What type of colours reflect all of the colors of light?
White reflects all the colours/wavelengths of light. Oppositely black would absorb all light. Hence you don't see light from a black object, you recognize the contrast between it and its surroundings. Any colours would be a mixture of absorption and reflection. If an object is transparent it reflects no(or close to as little as possible) light. Just an explanation based on science classes. -Jess
Where do you buy a rainbow?
1. Go purchase a small triangular prism from a store specialising in child science toys and experiments. 2. Shine the prism in the light and it will bend the light, separating the spectrum into the 7 colours of the rainbow, red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet. 3. There's your rainbow.
What is the importance of the prism?
That depends on its application in science or geometry which has not been given. In science it can turn light into different colours and in geometry it can be in the form of a triangular prism.
Why is it important to classify and group objects in science?
easier for us to knowing different objects by their shapes, colours and textures
What is the science behind rainbow loom?
Science? There is no "science" to Rainbow Loom! You just make a pattern on the loom board and when you loop it, all of the bands come together. I hope this helps you!
What are the basic science process in making a rainbow?
rain and sun together make a rainbow
What makes the iridescent color of peacock spiders important to science?
Irridescent colours In bird feathers and the like (violets, blues and whites) are structural colors, or schemochromes. Essentially each fibre of the covering refracts and reflects light intuits component colours. No pigments are involved.Any physical phenomenon is important and interesting to science as once it is understood it may be useful to develop it into useful products.
