Are the colors of light that objects absorb the colors you see?
No, the colors you see are the colors that are reflected by the object. White light is composed of several different wavelengths of energy, these different energies correspond to different visible colors. When an object absorbs the light, it absorbs its energy, the rest of the energy is reflected from the surface. That energy is what you see in the form of photons (light). So, if an object looks blue to you, that object is absorbing red light.
What happens when a substance absorbs light?
When a substance absorbs light the wavelengths that correspond to that color cannot be seen. Only colors that are reflected are visible.
Different colors are the result of different what?
varying speeds different colors of light travel
How white light produced different colors?
White light doesn't produce different colors. The only way to make white light is tocombine light with all of the different colors. So if you already have white light, allof the colors are already there. You only have to separate them in order to see them.
Light of different wavelengths is different colors?
Yes that is true. Different wavelengths means different colors. The amplitude of the wave determines how bright the light is.

White light breaks up into different colors when it passes through a prism because of?
White light is a mixture of colored light, and that each color is refracted to a different extent. The different colors correspond to light with different wavelengths, and are refracted to different degrees. This separation of colors is known as dispersion. Which causes the seperation of white light into seven colours Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
How do light colors have higher frequencies and darker colors have lower frequencies?
Darker colors like violet and blue actually have the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency. If you look at the visible spectrum, the order from highest to lowest would go violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, red.
How do different colors of light travel?
Different Colors Of Light Travel At Different Speeds.
What happens when a substance absorbs light?
When a substance absorbs light the wavelengths that correspond to that color cannot be seen. Only colors that are reflected are visible.
What is a Range of light of different colors and different wavelengths?
I believe that a range of light of different colors and different wavelengths is a spectrum.
Why rainbow are 7 coloured?
The visible light spectrum has a continuous range of colors; the division into 7 colors is quite arbitrary and doesn't correspond to physical reality.
How many different colors of stargate chevrons are there and which galaxies do they correspond to?
In our galaxy, they are grey with orange encoders, in the pegasus galaxy, they light up blue with blue encoders, and on the Destiny, they are white with white encoders.

What determines the colors seen when light exits a raindrop?
White light is a mix of different colors. Different colors will be refracted at different angles, so they will exit a raindrop in different places.
Do the colors in the sunset change to correspond with the sequence of colors in the rainbow?
Sure why not!
