What happens to light when it hits a coloured object?
It can be either reflected or absorbed. E.g. if the object is green, all the colours of light are absorbed except green. Green is reflected and not absorbed.
How do you see black and white?
BlackAll of the colours that make the white light shine down on the black object and all of the colours that make the white light the light absorbs into the object and no light reflects.WhiteAll of the colours that make the white light shine down on the white object and the light and no light is absorbed into the object but all of the colours that make the white light are reflected into your eyes
Color of an opaque object is the color of light it?
Reflects, other wavelengths (colours) are absorbed.
What colors of light are absorbed through a yellow object?
All of the rainbow colours exept its own
What cause the color you see when you look at an opaque object?
White light is made up of all the colours of the rainbow. When light hits an object, some colours (wavelengths) are absorbed, and some reflected. The colour you see is a combination of all the reflected colours.

What Does chlorophyll not absorb?
Chlorophyll does not absorb the color green. For this reason, the leaves of many plants appear green, as most other colours of light are absorbed (and therefore, are not reflected, and cannot be seen). When a plant dies, its leaves usually change colour, as the chlorophyll is no longer absorbing light.
Are green plants green because the green wavelengths of light are absorbed?
No. On the contrary, they are green because only green light is reflected, and all other colours are absorbed.

When sunlight shine on a sweater people see the color of the sweater because?
The sweater absorbs a certain wavelength of light, the light that isn't absorbed is deflected or reflected back to an observer and these are the colours seen. The light that isn't absorbed.

What must happen to all wave lengths of light for a substance to appear white?
The colours we see in an object are only the colours that are reflected. Inferentially, the other colours are absorbed. The grass is green (when illuminated by a white light source) because the redder end of the spectrum is absorbed and used by the plant to do its stuff - photosynthesis and so on. A white card appears white because all the light wavelengths [to which we can respond] are reflected. That card may absorb some of the white light, but not at wavelengths to which we respond.
What colours of light are absorbed by orange?
All of them are to some degree. The color that is leastabsorbed is orange.
What color doesn't chlorophyll absorb?
The color of anything is either the color of the light that is reflected from it, or the light that is transmitted through it. The other colors in white light are absorbed. So, since we see leaves as green whether in reflected light or when light shines through them, green is the color which is NOT absorbed.
What three colours are used to build all colours on a color monitor screen?
Im Not So Sure About Colours On A Monitor Screen But.. Humans Can Only See Three Colours, Green, Blue And Red For Example A Leaf Looks Green Because Red And Blue Light Are Being Absorbed But Green Light Is Being Reflected. The Three Colours Mix To Create Other Colours Such As Magenta Or Cyan. If Something Looks Black Its Because All Three Colours Are Being Absorbed If Something Looks White Its Because All Three Colours Are Being Reflected
