Why do you see objects and their color?

You see objects because visible light( a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) is reflected off the surface of something into your eye. All different colors have a different wavelength which defines their frequency. When you see a red object, that object is absorbing all the colors except for red which is then reflected into your eye.


Why is light reflected?

Light is an energy force which has weight. Light particles rebound back to the eye because every object has a reflective surface. Perhaps we could ask the question "Why do we see things in different colors?" Light is white in color. This white light is in actual fact a combination of all the colors of the spectrum. When light strikes an object the object will absorb some of the colors but reject others. The combination of these rejected colors give us the color we see. A green cover book is so because the colors blue and yellow were not absorbed by the material of the book cover. Some say that because some objects absorb all colors the object is seen as black, or the absence of color. So why do we still see black objects? Because even a black object has a reflective surface.


Why is the sun attracted to dark colors?

The question is a little off. Sunlight isn't 'attracted' to anything, in the sense that light 'wants to move toward' certain colors. But when light shines on objects of different colors, different parts of the light are reflected off of the objects and absorbed by the objects. An object that is close to a very pure white color will reflect most of the light that shines on it; an object that is close to a very pure black color will absorb most of the light that shines on it, and so will absorb more energy.


How do you we see non luminous objects?

We see object from the light they either produce or reflect. The Sun gives off light waves. An object absorbs all colors but what you see. The reflected light then travels to your eyes where it is interpreted.


How colors enter in the world?

Colors enter the world by the sun. The rays are made of different colors but they have different tempetures so when they enter the world, they have different colors for different things.

Every thing. some objects reflect some colors(the colors that we see) and absorb all others(the ones we don't see). the colors that are reflected and blend to make all the different colors.

Why do opaque objects appear to hve different colors?

This applies not only to opaque objects. The basic idea is that white light is a mixture of different colors, and objects tend to reflect the different colors - the components of white light - in different proportions. For example, an object that reflects most of the red light but not much of the other colors will look red.


Are the colors of light that objects absorb the colors you see?

No, the colors you see are the colors that are reflected by the object. White light is composed of several different wavelengths of energy, these different energies correspond to different visible colors. When an object absorbs the light, it absorbs its energy, the rest of the energy is reflected from the surface. That energy is what you see in the form of photons (light). So, if an object looks blue to you, that object is absorbing red light.


How the eye sees objects?

The light bounces off objects and then is delivered to your eye, and then the brain scans it. You can see color because the different wavelengths of light have different color - longer wavelengths are warm colors (red, yellow, orange, and similar colors) and shorter wavelengths are cool colors (blue, green, indigo, brown, etc).


What causes the apparent colors of the objects you see?

How does light rays behave to produce different colors using different objects?

White light is a mixture of different colors. A red object (for example) would reflect a greater percentage of red light, and a lesser percentage of other colors, thus making the light that you see redder.


What processes produce the different colors we see opaque objects?

Different materials absorb different wavelengths of visible radiation from sources like the sun or light bulbs. The wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected as visible radiation, and the color we see depends on the wavelength of that reflected light, with a longer wavelength correlating to more reddish colors, and shorter wavelengths with more bluish colors. White objects reflect all of the visible radiation that strike them, which is why they absorb less heat than black objects, which reflect much less visible radiation.
