What property objects make it to absorb certain wavelength of colour?

According to Kirchoff's law, the one which is capable of emitting a particular wavelength is also capable of absorbing it. Hence Sodium vapour at incandescent state emits two yello-orance lines named as D1 and D2 lines
So as white light is passed through sodium comparatively cooler then it would absorb the same D1 and D2 lines. Their wavelengths are respectively : 5896 A and 5890 A

What determines which photon an atom can absorb or emit?
Generally if they are of the same wavelength, then the atom will absorb the photon at that wavelength.
Why do you see objects as different colors when light is shining on them?
Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.
Which color light does Cyan toner absorb?
what is the wavelength of visible light
What are three opaque objects that stop or absorb light?
A rock, a tree and a dog are three opaque objects that stop or absorb light
What kind of object that absorb light?
All objects do. There is none that does not absorb any.

What color does not absorb all wavelength of light?
Black is the only color that does absorb all wavelengths of light.White is the color that reflects all wavelengths of light.All other colors absorb only certain wavelengths of light and reflect the rest.
Why are certain colors absorbed into some objects but not others?
colors are different frequencies of light. atoms in objects vibrate in specific frequencies too. objects with atoms vibrating in the frequency corresponding to the color absorb that color and reflect the other frequencies they can't absorb. the color of an object is basically the frequency of light that it can't absorb.
Why red apple red?
We see colour because light is made up different wavelengths. Objects absorb certain wavelengths of light while reflecting others. An apple appears to be red because it reflects the red wavelength while absorbing all the other colours.
Do white objects absorb less heat than black?
white objects reflect heat while black objects absorb it
What processes produce the difference colors we see in opaque objects?
Different materials absorb different wavelengths of visible radiation from sources like the sun or light bulbs. The wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected as visible radiation, and the color we see depends on the wavelength of that reflected light, with a longer wavelength correlating to more reddish colors, and shorter wavelengths with more bluish colors. White objects reflect all of the visible radiation that strike them, which is why they absorb less heat than black objects, which reflect much less visible radiation.

Which Obects that don't absorb?
Objects that do not absorb LIGHT are called opaque. You can't see through these types of objects.
What the four kinds of light sensitive receptors found in the retina?
Rods, cones that absorb long wavelength light (red),cones that absorb middle wavelength light (green), and cones that absorb short ways length light (blue)
