The light wave could be absorbed by the object, in which case its energy is converted to heat. The light wave could be reflected by the object. And the light wave could be transmitted by the object. ...

Why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different wavelengths of light that srike the cholrophyll?
Green wave length of light is reflected hence chlorophyll looks green .
Which term describes substances that absorb some wavelengths of light?
Pigment is a substance that absorbs some wavelengths of lights and reflects other, giving something its color. Chlorophyll is the green substance that absorbs light and provide energy for photosynthesis.
What reflects of lights in all direction?
White
How does a color object gets its color?
Color is produced by the reflection of lights. If you have a blue object, it is reflecting blue light and is absorbing all other colors. A white object absorbs all colors and a black object reflects all.
Which of these colours Black White absorbs heat and which keeps you cooler by reflecting it?
Black absorbs heat, and white reflects it. By heat, this is predominantly heat generated by light, such as sunlight or a lamp. Black is essentially the absence of light, so it absorbs the lights energy and converts it to heat. White is a complete reflection of the light being cast upon it, so more light is reflected off and it stays cooler.
How does the eye perceives colour?
Our eyes have light receptors which basically send messages to our brain telling us what color everything is. Color actually isn't in objects. Like an apple isn't really red but the surface reflects absorbs some lights and reflects others. Hope that helped. Basically we see color because of different reflections of light and absorbing.
What happens if a bulb breaks in your Christmas lights?
With the modern lights nothing happens.
What is the relationship between the frequency of light and its color?
Lights of different frequencies are perceived as different colors.
How many colurs are there in folourecent light?
white lights is all colors equal. look through a prism at tube you will see rainbow effect. white paper reflects all light, while black absorbs all colors. if paper is green it will asorb all colors but green which is reflected back to eye. what ever color you see something are the color(s) it reflects.
Do opaque objects reflect some light?
Yes. Depending on the object (let's use a banana) they reflect different light. Out of appearingly white light, there are colours. A banana appears yellow because it absorbs all other colours and reflects the yellow part of the light. This also means that is you put a plant in green light, it will die because it reflects green and needs the other lights for photosynthesis.
Why does a dark color absorb more heat than a white color?
Black absorbs more lights, whereas white doesn't. The lights is then turned into heat energy.
What happens if you wave at the northern lights?
Nothing happens if you wave at them.
