Why do you see objects as different colors when light is shining on them?

Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.

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.
Why some objects appear to be different colors when seen in different colors of light?
it depends on what kind of object is that
How do you experiment what happens when light is shone on other objects?
By shining light on other objects.
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.
Why do different objects appear to the naked human eye in different colors under white light or normal light condition?
Each material reflect different the light waves.

How can you filter light to create different colors?
Shining a white light through a glass prism will split the light into rainbow colours.

Why objects appear different colors in different color light?
They do because of the absorption of the light from the sun!!! I think not sure
What processes produce the different colors you see in opaque objects?
absorption and reflection of different wavelengths of light

Is white all the colors combined?
If you are talking in terms of light then yes, all the colors in the light spectrum are together white. You may see the spectrum when white light is shining through a triangular prism, reflecting the different shades.
Does human eye sees objects and colors in terms of wavelength?
find ou t ur self different colors aborb different wavelengths of light ^.^
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.
What color is an object when it reflects blue?
Assuming that the light you are shining on the object is white, then the object is also blue. Objects appear a certain color because they reflect that color to our eyes and the rest of the colors in the light are absorbed by the object.
