Since an object is observed as the color(s) it reflects, a green object absorbs all colors and reflects green.
What color light does green objects absorb?
Since an object is observed as the color(s) it reflects, a green object absorbs all colors and reflects green.
What do you call the appearance of an object created by the quality of light it absorbs or reflects?

What is the relationship between reflection absorption and color?
The color of an object is the frequency/wavelength of the light it reflects. The light it reflects is the light it receives minus the light it absorbs.
An object that reflects red light and absorbs other colors?
An object that reflects red light and absorbs GREEN COLOUR.
What does the color of visible light depend on?
the color of the light it reflects and absorbs. If the object reflects red and absorbs all other colors, the object will appear red.
What happens when an object absorbs some of light's frequencies and reflects other's?
The light wave could be absorbed by the object, in which case its energy is converted to heat. The light wave could be reflected by the object. And the light wave could be transmitted by the object. ...
How does the color of an object depends on the reflection and the absorption of light?
If it reflects that color of light, you're eyes will see that color being reflected by the object (when the color is being shown on the object, white light contains 'all' colors of visible light). If an object absorbs a color of light you will tend not to see it coming off of the object. Translation: objects will appear the color(s) of light that it reflects. If an object appears red, it reflects red light.
How is an object black?
An object looks black whenever it absorbs all 7 colors of the visible spectrum. We can only see it with a color if that color is being reflected from it. Because the object absorbs all colors, it reflects none of them, so we do not see any color, and therefore we see the object as black.
What color will reflect all colors?
The color that we see is not the color of the object in question, but the color of the light it reflects. This means that a "green object" absorbs all colors of the visible spectrum except for green light, which it reflects back to our eyes. White light is the combination of the entire visible spectrum combined. Thus a "white object" reflects all colors of light. On the opposite side of this question, a "black object" absorbs all colors of light, because "black" is the absence of color.
If you absorb all the colors what color would you get?
If an object absorbs all the colors in white light, it reflects black.
