When you see an object of a particular color say green what wavelengths of light are absorbed by the object What wavelengths are reflected?

When you see an object it's because light is reflected from it to your eye. If it appears green it is because it is only reflecting green light to your eye. That means it is absorbing all the other colours. If something appears red it is because it is reflecting red light to your eye and absorbing all the other colours. Sometimes things absorb most, but not all, red and some, but not all, blue and we see purple.

How does light become colors?

When you say 'Light' you probably mean, 'White light'. White light, or just plain old light, say, from the Sun, is composed of light of all the different visible colors. Light can be separated out into all the colors that are in it by using a prism or by reflecting the light off of tiny water droplets in the sky (creating a rainbow). The weirdest way to split light into its colors that I have ever seen is caused by light bouncing back from the tiny glass balls that are spread on wet traffic-stripe paint. It is really strange to see "rainbows" on the street!
