What happens when white light shines on a violet object?

When white light shines onto a violet object, the violet part of white light reflects off of the object, causing you to see violet. White light it ROYGBIV, which is the colours of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet). So white light IS the combination of ALL of these colours.


If a white object is in white light what reflects and what absorbs?

A white object will reflect the white light. (that's why we perceive the object to be white).


What happens when light falls on a white objects?

We see colours because of white light (visible light) which is made up of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple light. We see colours when some fo these colours are absorbed into the object and the others are reflected. If an object is white that means all the light reflects off the object


How do you see black and white?

BlackAll of the colours that make the white light shine down on the black object and all of the colours that make the white light the light absorbs into the object and no light reflects.WhiteAll of the colours that make the white light shine down on the white object and the light and no light is absorbed into the object but all of the colours that make the white light are reflected into your eyes


What happens to the colors of white light when it hits opaque colored surfaces?

any colors that are not part of the color of the object are absorbed by the object. light of the colors that do make up the color of the object are reflected back to your eyes.

What happens to the different colors of light when white light shines on opaque violet object?

White light contains all the wavelengths of the visible spectrum at equal intensity. The different colors of light, except violet, are absorbed when white light shines on an opaque violet object. The violet color is reflected.

If object is white in sunlight what color will it be in green light?

If an object is white in sunlight it will be green in green light. A white object reflects all wavelengths (colors) of light that shine on it. If only green light shines on it, that color will be reflected and the object will look green.
