Black is the only color that does absorb all wavelengths of light.White is the color that reflects all wavelengths of light.All other colors absorb only certain wavelengths of light and reflect the rest.
Many chemical substances absorb light.
Hygroscopic substances are used to absorb humidity.

Many chemical substances absorb light.
Various chemical constituents in whatever is colored absorb some wavelengths and scatter back the rest. The wavelengths that are not absorbed give you what you see. So something that absorbs all colour wavelengths except yellow, will look yellow. Absorption happens when particular atomic structures have energy levels which match the energies of incoming photons which may be in the visible, or infra-red etc.
YES!!!!! This happens because different colors absorb different wavelengths of light. As you can see with a prism, white light is actually made up of all the other colors. When this white light hits an object, some of the wavelengths that make up the light will be absorbed by the object, and the rest will be reflected. A red apple looks red to us because it reflects the red light wavelengths and absorbs every other color. Black substances don't reflect any wavelengths, so they absorb the most light, and in turn the most heat. However, white substances reflect all wavelengths, so they don't absorb much light or heat, and they are cooler. So while a white liquid would absorb some heat, a black liquid would heat up at a much faster rate, and the dark liquid would be hotter.
A type of plastids called chloroplasts absorb the light.
all chemicals that can been seen by the naked eye absorb certain wavelengths of light of the visible light spectrum. it is the light that is absorbed that is what is seen. if a substance (or chemical) were to reflect all wavelengths of light (in the visible spectrum), it would be invisible.
The moucous membranes in your body protect certain organs, like the inside of your stomach, from various things. By being able to secrete and absorb substances, the organs these membranes are around are protected.
The dark bands are caused from the differnet chemical elements which absorb light at specific wavelengths.
Carotenoids reflect yellow-orange light and absorb blue-green light.
