"Black" means "no light". That's why a dark room looks black at niight.If an object really looks black, then you know that it must have absorbed any lightthat hit it, because there's none left to bounce from the object into your eyes.
An object looks black whenever it absorbs all 7 colors of the visible spectrum. We can only see it with a color if that color is being reflected from it. Because the object absorbs all colors, it reflects none of them, so we do not see any color, and therefore we see the object as black.
For exactly the reason that you call it a "a green object". You describe it that way because most of the time, when it's being illuminated by light of all colors, the only color that it does NOT absorb, and that remains to bounce off of the object and be seen by your eye, is the green. When there is no green light striking the object, it can't reflect any light to your eye, and it appears black.
A "green" object is called "green" because that's the only color of light it reflects, and it absorbs any other color. If orange light is shining on it, then there's no light for it to reflect, and it looks black to you.
It soaks into the black fabric, stone, liquid, mud, paint, wood ... whatever absorbs the light and looks black ...then it turns to heat, and warms the material that absorbed the light.1. When light falls on a Black body it aborbs all light and converts into heat. This raises the temp. of the Object. Now this object reradiates this heat in the form Electromagnetic waves in the Microwave region.
A red object looks black through a blue filter because the filter absorbs the red light that the object reflects, allowing little to no light to pass through. This results in the red object appearing dark or black when viewed through the blue filter.
Grass looks black in blue light, because blue is an opaque color and green color absorbs it
-- The colors of light that the object absorbsare gone, and aren'tavailable to proceed to your eye.-- The colors of light that the object reflectsproceed from the objectto your eye. They are the colors that the object "looks" to you.
it can be red and black or light brown and black
darker from lack of exposure to the light.
Light is really all the colors of the rainbow for example if and object is blue it absorbs all colors except blue so a white object would look white because it REFLECTS all the colors of the rainbow a black object looks black because it ABSORBS all the colors
