Why does a different color of light disappear when it goes onto a different color object?

because, as the light travels through the different coloured object, the colour in the object filters the 7 colours of light and only lets the same colour light as the object through.

When the color of an object is the color of the light it?
The object reflects all the incident light.
What is the color of an object is?
The color of an object are defined by the wavelengths of visible light that the object reflects. This reflected light is picked up by our eyes and interpreted as color. The other wavelengths of light are absored.
Does the color of an object appear to be the same color as the light that it absorbs?
No. If the object absorbs that color, then there's none left to travelfrom there to your eyes, is there !The color you see is the light that the object couldn'tabsorb, so itbounced from the object to your eyes.
When an object is in the sunlight why do you see its color?
Sunlight is a mix of all colors. Pigments in the object reflect different colors of light, which you see.
When light is absorbed by an object does the lights energy just disappear?
It turns into heat
When the color of an object is the color of the light it?
The object reflects all the incident light.
How does the color of an object depends on the reflection and the absorption of light?
If it reflects that color of light, you're eyes will see that color being reflected by the object (when the color is being shown on the object, white light contains 'all' colors of visible light). If an object absorbs a color of light you will tend not to see it coming off of the object. Translation: objects will appear the color(s) of light that it reflects. If an object appears red, it reflects red light.

What determine the color of an object?
Light comes in many different "wavelengths". The wavelength of a beam of light determines its color.White light contains light of all different wavelengths, but objects can reflect of absorb different wavelengths.The light that an object reflects determines its color.In other words, an object that looks red must be absorbing all wavelengths of light except red.

How does visible light interact with an object?
The Answer is color. Because color has to do with light and physical properties.
What an object is made of and the color of light that strikes it determine the?
The apparent color of the object.
What object is made of and the color of light that strikes it determine the?
The apparent color of the object.
What happen to the different color of light when white light shines on a opaque violet object?
it reflects violet and absorbs the other colors
What are the senses that color on an object?
The color of an object is determined by the color of light it reflects. As you maybe know, white light like sunlight is a mix of every possible color (of the rainbow spectrum). Roughly said from 400 to 700 nanometer. A red object will absorb every color of light, except for red light, which is reflected to our eyes. That's how we perceive the color of an object.
