How is a rainbow a physical change?
A true change in color is almost always associated with a chemical change.Here are a few examples of visual changes that are not color changes due to physical change.Chemical change: When your toast changes from white to brown, the heat of the toaster has caused a chemical change in the outer layer of the toast.Physical Change: When rain changes to snow, we have the impression that it appears different. Water appears transparent and snow appears white, but the difference is really a difference of how light is scatters from snow. (A white color normally means diffuse reflection.)Chemical Change: Photochromic eyeglasses are normal transparent glasses which darken when exposed to sunlight. This is an example of reversible chemical change induced by light.Physical Change: A rainbow will appear when water droplets form in air and this can provide a dramatic color appearance. In fact, the color is again not the color of the droplet but the way diffraction splits the light into different colors as seen by the observer.A physical change that is associated with a true change in actual color (not a change in light scattering) is quite exotic and no good example of such a change has been given in this answer.
Is the color of an object the sum of the color it will reflect or transmit?
The colour an object appears to be is the colour of the light it is reflecting.
Why color of light is called color addition?
Because the combination of some colors produce the "white" light (color).
The ordinary light microscope is called a bright-field microscope because?
the object appears light on a dark background
A shoe that appears to be green would not absorb which color of light?
green. The green is the only color not absorbed and therefor bounces off the shoe creating a green appearance
Why the sky appears to change color and what cause this to happen?
change in the composition of the gasses and the angle of refracted light
Does the color of light affect how it appears in water?
no
Why objects appear the color you see?
It appears the color of light it reflects.
Does the color of light affect how bright it appears in water?
no
What color appears on top of a stop light?
Red.
Is it true that the color an object appears to be is the color of light that is absorbs?
NO it is not true an OBJECT appears colour because it reflect that colour
What color light is absorbed by an object that appears red under white light?
Red Light
What color is diamond dust?
Colorless. Any color it appears to have is due to the refraction of light.
What is light called that appears to bend called?
refraction
What is the name of the fabric that changes color when exposed to the light?
Lots of fabrics change colour when exposed to light. It's called "fading".
If a substance appears red in color then what color light is reflected?
I think it's mainly the red light that's reflected from the object.
