What we perceive as color is specific wavelengths of light. Objects either emit or reflect light. Again depending on which wavelengths are either emitted or reflected is the color(s) we see.
In emitted colors, a given source emits light. If all wavelengths are emitted then what we see is white. The object may emit specific wavelengths of light or it may use some sort of filter that allows only specific wavelengths to pass through and blocks all others.
In reflected colors. the object or pigments of or on an object absorb all light wavelengths except certain ones. Those that are not trapped and are reflected or refracted back (as in the case of rainbows) we perceive as color(s).
the flashlight causes objects to appear larger and easier to see.
You see objects because visible light( a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) is reflected off the surface of something into your eye. All different colors have a different wavelength which defines their frequency. When you see a red object, that object is absorbing all the colors except for red which is then reflected into your eye.
They are all there from the beginning, in the light we call "white". We see the colors separately when something ... water droplets in the air, for example ... spreads them out.
We see object from the light they either produce or reflect. The Sun gives off light waves. An object absorbs all colors but what you see. The reflected light then travels to your eyes where it is interpreted.
Sirius the Dog Star is the brightest star. However, there are other objects that are brighter. they are Venus (Morning/Evening Star ) and the Moon.
i think the answer is b
what processes produce the different colors we see in opaque objects
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.
White is the resultant of all colors being reflected. White objects of course absorb some light but due reflect all the colors of the rainbow as we see them.
Ants are not color blind. They may not be able to see colors as sharply as humans, but see the colors of objects.

The variations in how much reflected sunlight we see as the Moon orbits Earth.
No. Its apparent magnitude (i.e., brightness) is about 8; with the naked eye, we can see objects up to approximately magnitude 6.
absorption and reflection of different wavelengths of light
You see objects because visible light( a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) is reflected off the surface of something into your eye. All different colors have a different wavelength which defines their frequency. When you see a red object, that object is absorbing all the colors except for red which is then reflected into your eye.
