What causes the apparent colors of the objects we see?
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).
When all light is reflected back all light is said to be?
White light. The colors that we see are actually the colors NOT absorbed by the object they strike: for example, if the sun's light strikes a pink triangle, it is because the triangle absorbs all the frequencies of light EXCEPT for the color pink. If the only color we see is green reflected off a car, then all wavelengths of color are absorbed except for green.
How many clours are there in the rainbow?
All of them are ... every color that anyone has ever seen, or that can be seen.There's no limit to the number.
Why does a rainbow show colors from reds to violet?
There's a broad band of wavelengths of light coming from a rainbow. They range from wavelengths that are too short for your eyes to detect, all the way to wavelengths that are too long for your eyes to detect. Within that band of wavelengths is the total band that your eyes can detect, and you see them as a spread out display of all the colors that your eyes and brain can work together to perceive.
What are the substances that absorb light energy called?
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.
What color has the most color?
Technically white. Color is from wavelengths of light being reflected, and white is a reflection of all wavelengths
What color does not absorb all wavelength of light?
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.
How does sunlight and color relate?
Sunlight contains all the colors (wavelengths) in the visible light spectrum. This is evidenced by the colors seen in rainbows.
What color reflects wavelengths of the visible spectrum that hit it?
The color white reflects all wavelengths of the visible spectrum. That is why it is the brightest color.
If light of all visible wavelengths is combined the results appear to be what color?
If the lights from all visible wavelengths are combined, they appear to be a white color.
What color are objects that absorb all colors that reflects little light?
Black objects absorb all or most of the visible wavelengths of light, whereas white objects reflect all wavelengths. When all visible wavelengths (violet to red) enter the eye in equal proportions, the color is perceived as white. When no wavelengths reach the eye, the color is perceived as black. Every other color is a mixture of this continuum of wavelengths.
What color would plants be if they absorb all wavelengths of visible light?
why does plants color change to black when absorbed all wavelengths
What color light is produced if all wavelengths are absorbed?
That would be black.
What color would a plant be if it absorbed all wavelengths of visible light?
To do this, it would have to be black, which is the lack of color.
Why does clear glass have no color?
Because it absorbs and reflects all wavelengths of light equally.
What color is an object the absorbs light of all wavelengths?
black body is the object which absorbs the light of all wavelength...........
What is white?
in between gray and white :) or it could be a little bit of whiteITs like a slang word
