When light hits a dark object then light is absorbed?
When an object absorbs the light that hits it, the object appears dark.
What happens when a red light hits a white object?
the part the red light touches will turn red...like if u get a red laser pointer and point it at a white paper.
What colour is a red object when red light shines on it?
Red light shining on an object that reflects primarily red light will be red
What color is being reflected to our eyes when we see a red apple?
We see red when red light reaches the retinas in our eyes. A non-luminous object that looks red is absorbing every color of light that hits it except red light, which it reflects.
What color of light does a transparent red object transmit?
Red light is transmitted when light falls on red object. It allows only the red light to pass through and absorbs all the other light.

What is the difference between red light and a red object?
Red object is one that absorb other range of spectrum but Red light.

Red light is transmitted when light falls on red object. It allows only the red light to pass through and absorbs all the other light.
What colour will a yellow object look in red light and why?
It will look red. White light is made up of a spectrum of many colours. The primary colours are red, green and blue. An object (in white light) appears yellow because it reflects red and green light but absorbs blue light. In red light, the same object will simply reflect the red light. Since there is no green light, the object will appear red. (A mixture of red and green gives yellow)
What is happening when you see the color red?
When you see the color red, you are seeing red light reflect off of a surface. This means that any other color light that hits that object is absorbed into the surface. The exception to this is when you see red light, in that case you are seeing light that does not contain any other color of light.
Why does the white ball appear red when a white light is shone through a red filter?
When you see color, it is not due to the fact that a specific object is that color, but you are really seeing the light reflected off of the object. A green object reflects only green light, a purple object only reflects purple light. White is a special case, as it reflects all light that hits it. When you shine a white light, the light contains every color that the human eye can see. By using a red filter, you only allow red light to reach the ball. Since the ball reflects all light, it reflects the only light it recieves, red light. Therefore, you percieve the ball as being red.
What happens to get a black object?
When all light that hits an object is absorbed by it the object appears black. Similarly we see a wight object when all light that hits the object gets reflected off it!!!!!
How do colored objects look under colored lights?
If the light is or contains the colour the object it is striking, then the object will appear to be the colour it originally is. If the light is not or does not contain the colour the object it is striking, then object will appear black. This is because an object will only reflect the light that is the same colour as it, all other light is absorbed. For example: Red, yellow, magenta, and white light will make a red object appear red as they all contain red light. Blue, green and cyan light will make a red object appear black.
If you shine a blue light on a red object what color will the object turn?
Believe it or not, the object will appear black! Here's why. An object is red because it absorbs all wavelengths of light except red. It reflects the red back to our eyes, so that's what color we perceive. If you, then, have no other light source and shine purely blue light on a red object, the object will absorb the blue light and you won't get any light reflected at all. In other words, black.
