Which colours of light are being reflected by a white shirt when viewed in white light?
All of them.
Why do you see colors on soap bubbles?
It's called iridescence, which is an optical phenomenon which occurs when the hue of a multi-layered and semi-transparent object such as soap bubbles appears to change due to the phase shifting of light within the soap bubbles as the angle from which the bubbles is viewed changes.
Why does a green t-shirt look green when viewed in white light?
White Light is made of all the colours of the spectrum (rainbow). If we look at something, say, green (like grass) it looks green to us because the chlorophyll in the leaves absorbs all the sunlight that lands on it with the exception of green light which it reflects. Therefore this green light that reflects into our eyes makes us see the grass as green. White objects, however, absorb no light and reflect all the colours back to us. As all the colours together make white light, we see the object (in your case, a T shirt) as white.
Why black colours are good absorbers of heat?
Because the Black Colors absorb more light, And the White Colours Reflect more Light.
Why do light colored objects feel cooler than dark colored objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light/heat, while light colours reflect light/heat.
Why can you see rainbow colours on bubbles?
Beacause of the light reflecting of the detergent

Why does temperature change because of color?
because dark colours absorb light and light colours reflect light
Can light colors be seen in the dark?
yes because light colours can be seen on dark colours

Why were bubbles discovered?
because to help with the light bills and food bills.
Objects in space that can only be viewed from earth because of reflected light energy are said to be?
objects in space that can only be viewed from earth because of reflected light energy are said to be luminous.
Why do a yellow bus appear yellow?
Colours appear the way they are because of light. Objects such as this bus reflect colours from light..thats why most things apear black in the dark because there is little or no light to reflect off of. Yellow objects reflect yellow while absorbing remaining colours
Why are soap suds always white even when the soap itself isn't?
Bubbles are made of water and have air inside Water has a higher refractive index than air (it slows down light more), and because they are spherical, they act like a divergent lens, bending the light. As the light bounces through many bubble surfaces it is bent each time- it is scattered (reflected and refracted) in all directions (including back to your eyes). All the wavelengths (which equate to colours) act in the same way- (hardly any of the light is absorbed as the coloured water-the bubble- is so thin) Colours are seen when white light is shone through an object (in this case coloured bath water), where wavelengths of a particular length are absorbed and others are unaffected. Refraction occurs when light goes through an object (a rainbow is made when light refracts through water and shows how white light is made up of all different colours) Reflection occurs when light is bounced back off a surface As all wavelengths act the same, if you shine light on the bubbles, the same proportions of wavelengths gets back to your eyes. As you're using white light from a bulb or the sun (which is made up of all the colours with a wide range of wavelengths)- you'll see white bubbles. (of course if you used a red light for example- you would see red bubbles) If the coloured liquid was very thick or had a very intense colour, the bubbles would be lightly tinged as more of the corresponding wavelengths are absorbed- but still much lighter than the bulk fluid. (e.g. bubbles on the head of a Guinness are more creamy than white because of the dark brown liquid). I hope that this has answered your question :)
