As you can see, everything that is visible allow certain wavelength to get pass, but the ones that doesnt go throug give to that matter the color of the rejected wavelength.
For Example, a Sticky yellow note, that rejects Yellow wavelength

Why does black absorb sunlight?
Bonds in molecules absorb light, In black the bonds absorb a lot of visible light frequencies. As black only reflects few frequencies of visible light. it gains it black colour.
Why do objects have different colors?
The color of an object has to do with the waves of (visible) light that it reflects. When light hits an object some is absorbed and some reflects, e.g. white is white because all the colours are reflected back; black is black because none of the colours are reflected, red is red because only red reflects from the object. Plants are green because the chlorophyll reflects the colour green, making them appear green to us.

When are objects visible to us?
we see things when a light source goes into our eyes or when it reflects off an object
What colour will a white object appear if only red light was shone on it?
Red. The colour of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects and absorbs, and a white object is one that reflects light across the visible spectrum. If only red light shines on it, it will reflect that light. In contrast, a black object appears black because it doesn't reflect any visible wavelengths, so would still appear black. Any object that doesn't reflect the wavelength of light you're using (eg blue objects) would also appear black because it isn't reflecting any light.
What is visible to a person only because light from another source reflects off of it?
Any object which is not luminous.
What is visible to a person only because light from another source reflects it lightning or flashlight or cloud or sun?
The cloud
Is Mars luminous or not?
It can be with the light it reflects from the sun, but not over long distances. Mars does not emit light except in the very long wavelengths (infra red). It is non-luminous. It is only visible because of the light it reflects, as the first answer states.
What is the speed of light in gold?
Visible light can only travel through objects that are transparent or translucent so all the visible light reflects of the gold which is why it is shiny
What is the best color for exterior painting in summer?
Off white, because this is the only colour that reflects all light and absorbs no rays in visible spectrum.

Do atoms only emit visible light?
Yes because it only have light in common?

Which type of rays are visible?
visible light is the only VISIBLE light.
