Best Answer

Monochromic light can be photons in a narrow energy range emitted by a laser.

Sunlight looks uniform but it is actually composed of all of the wavelengths of visible light (except for a few that have been absorbed in the atmosphere).

How do things reflect light?

thair are many light ray in a light beam, but eavry light ray is one color. You know how you mix all the paint colors together and you get a mud color, well with light that is the opisit you mix all of the colors and you get wight well serton objects have a serton color to them and the only reflect the same light color as they are. like an apple it seems red because it reflects the red light beam only. if you take an apple into a dark closit it isn't red cuz thair is no red beam


What happens when red light is shone onto a wall?

Any object that has light shone on it would appear in a particular color because the said object absorbs all the other colors of the spectrum and reflects one single color. when the light itself consists of a single color, the color of the object gets modified because the reflected light contains the color of the light and then part that is reflected. For ex, the wall in the question would appear red if the light is only one wavelength but would appear as a combination of red and its own natural color if the light is a combination of different wavelengths.


What color object would reflect more light?

White, since we can only see the color when all of the light hitting it is reflected.


What color of light does a red filter allow to pass through it?

Red. A primary filter allows only one colour through.


What color would a green object be if you shined an orange light on it?

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.

What colors are not a primary color of light?

Pink is not a color. It is the only color that isn't a color that can be extracted from light.

How can a photon have color?

Different frequincies of light cause color, but a photon can not have color because it is only a single particle of light


What is a monochramatic color scheme?

A monochromatic color scheme is a color scheme that only uses one color. You add black and white to the original color to get different shades ex: light blue, dark blue, blue ex: light orange, dark orange, orange


How light affect color and how color affect light?

Color and light are the same thing A color is a spesific wavelength of light. All the colors together makes white light. A red ball reflect "only" the red wavelength of the light, thereby appearing red. If you shine on it with a blue light and blue light only, the ball will appear Black, simply because there is no Red light to reflect.


What is the color that only insects can see?

The color is a mix of all colors, including black, white, every color in the spectrum. it is the color of light. "white light" is a lie.

Why do things have colour?

Color only exists because of spectral light, and the ability of our eyes and brains to process the sight light inro a definitive color. The color of an object depends on the color or intensity of the light bouncing off of it.

Do the color of a laser affects the velocity of light wave by the laser?

No. The color is determined by the light's *frequency*, but, as Einstein proved, there is one and only one velocity at which light can propagate, c or the speed of light. All light propagates at this same velocity (there are ways to slow it down slightly, e.g. by passing through dense material, but this affects all light the same). The speed of light being a constant is one of the very foundations of modern physics.
