Who made colors?

Colours are made by reflected lights. When light hits an object, the color you see is being reflected, the ones you don't are being absorbed. Example: you have a blue object, blue is being reflected while the other colours are absorbed. With a colour like green, blue and yellow are reflected as the others are absorbed.


When you see the color of an object is all light being absorbed by that object except for the color being experienced?

Yes, when we see the color of an object, it means that all other colors of light are being absorbed by the object and only the specific color reflected is being experienced by our eyes. This reflected color is what we perceive as the color of the object.


How does visible light interact with an object?

Visible light interacts with an object by either being absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The color of the object is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected off its surface. When light is absorbed, it can cause the object to heat up. Transmitted light passes through the object without being absorbed or reflected.


What color is reflected if you see a blue color?

Blue light is being reflected. When you see an object as blue, it means that the object is absorbing all colors of light except for blue, which is being reflected off the object and entering your eyes.


When you see colors what color is reflected and what color is absorbed?

Black is absorbed! White is reflected. :)


What part of the eye captures light rays that are reflected off the object being looked at?

The eye does not actively capture the light rays that are reflected off the object being looked at. They pass into the eye through the cornea..


How can you see the object and its color if all light is being absorbed and no light is being reflected?

The object would appear black. If it were literally absorbing all light and reflecting no light, then you'd be able to see it by contrast with the background... unless the background were also true black, in which case you couldn't see it at all.


What is the difference between object distance and image distance?

image distance is the distance from the point of incidence on the mirror, the where the image is reflected to.object distance is the distance from the actual object being reflected to the point of incidence on the mirror where it's reflected as an image.


How is the brightness of light determined?

The brightness of light is determined by the intensity of the light source and the distance from the source to the object being illuminated. The closer the object is to the light source and the more intense the light, the brighter the light will appear.


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.


Why does a far object look small?

the reason a far object looks small is because of the light bouncing off of that object. only the light waves bouncing off and comming directly to your eye will you see. there is much more light being reflected from that object but because of your distance from it the majority of the light waves have traveled in other directions. ( here is a thought experiment ) if you had a 1foot by 1foot mirror and you were standing 100 feet in front of it, if you shined a flashlight directly at the mirror would the light be the same brightness when it is reflected back.


What part of the eye captures the light rays that are reflected off an object being looked at?

The retina is the part of the eye that captures the light rays that are reflected off an object being looked at. It contains specialized cells called photoreceptors that convert light into electrical signals which are then sent to the brain for processing.
