Light is a mixture of many different wavelengths. When a wavelength reaches an object, all of the other wavelengths are absorbed into the object except for one, which is reflected. That is the color we see.

Objects appear coloured because they reflect light of particular wavelengths when illuminated by white light. Colour filters merely drain some colours from white light.

∙ 11y agoThe way light is reflected off the object. For example, an object that appears green absorbs all other colors (violet, blue, red, for example) except green which is reflected off the object. Our eye only sees this green color reflected back at us, so we see the object as green.

Why do you think dark colored objects appear dark when light hits them?
dark object absorb more light than light colors
Does a black object appear white when viewed through a red lens?
No. When you're looking at a black object with the naked eye, it obviously appears as black. If you looked at the same object with any colored lens, the object would appear as the same color (with semi tint of the color of the lens. Due to the fact that colored things are darker than clear things, objects seen in colored vision will appear darker than in clear vision, further proving that a dark colored object will not appear lighter when observed through a colored lens. Hope this helped
Why do objects appear different colors when seen under different colored lights?
Because the reflection of the light up above the shape is seen on the shape. Making it look that colour.
What is the difference in terms of reflection between objects that appear blue and objects that appear yellow?
Blue is hot yellow is not
Imagine you are on a strange new planet All the lights in this planet is greenAll the objects are blue What color do the objects appear to be?
Since blue objects absorb the green light, the objects appear black.
7 A system of drawing based on the idea that closer objects appear larger and distant objects appear smaller?
Perspective.
A system of drawing based on the idea that closer objects appear larger and distant objects appear smaller?
The answer is Linear Perspective.
Why do light colored objects feel cooler than dark colored objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light/heat, while light colours reflect light/heat.
How do objects appear in a microscope?
Greater
How do most celestial objects appear to move across the sky?
Celestial objects such as the sun appear to rise in the east and set to the west.
Who invented the kaleidscope?
a kaleidscope is a tube of mirrors containing loose colored beads, pebbles or other small colored objects.
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.
