How the primary colors of light differ from the primary pigment colors?
The primary colors of light are the photon structures independent of the material, which function as a basis for the other colors, while the pigment colors are those that acquire certain materials and that combine to give rise to other colors.
What happen when light is directed at a transparent materials?
When light is directed at transparent materials, it bounces off of the particles and is refracted accordingly. This causes the light to bend according to the materials refraction index. The higher the refraction index of the material, and the thicker it is, the more it bends the light and separates the colors.
How do you see colours in white light?
White light contains the many colors you see. The illuminated object will absorb and reflect the light as its' materials see fit. A black object will absorb all colors. A white object reflects all colors. Everything else lies in between there somewhere.
Do materials with light and dark colors absorb heat?
I dont know but i think dark colours are more absorbant that light colours i hope this helps
How do light waves act when it hits different materials?
It depends if it is a transparent object it may split the light and make colors, like what a crystal does. You can see colors because of whatever the light shines on, it does NOT attract the color you see. (don't know how to say that...)
What materials absorb some colors of light and reflects other colors?
A pigment
How can a spectroscope be used to identify an element heated to incandescence?
Spectroscope is a device that separates light into its different colors.

Why different colors appeared by different material?
White light is a mixture of different colors. Different materials have different surface properties; as a result, one material may reflect a larger percentage of red light, and a smaller percentage of other colors, such as blue or green light - thus, it will appear red. Another material may reflect more green light than other colors, so it will appear more green.
What colors are pastel?
Pastel colors are colors that hide under names like soft, pale, washed-out. On the saturation scale in colors these colors are darker than whites and lighter than light colors. Pastel colors are the colors we associate a lot with Easter and spring time. Turquoise, lavender, primrose yellow, baby pink, baby blue, a soft green called jade green, peach, apricot, salmon pink are all pastels.
Why can you see people?
You can see people because light reflects off of them and then hits your retina (rods and cones) and a signal is sent to your brain. Different materials absorb different colors (wave lengths) of light, so that makes the different colors.
Why white light can not be used in interference?
White light consists of a mixture of many different colors. Each color will have different interference patterns, making observation difficult.
Colored material that absorbs some colors but reflects others?
All colored materials, except white-colored and black-colored materials, reflects or emits its own color of light while the other parts of the spectrum are absorbed. White-colored and black-colored materials are exceptions because, white-colored materials reflects all the colors or all the parts of the visible spectrum because white's composition is all the colors and, black-colored materials absorb all the colors while reflecting none because black is merely the absence of any color although black is sometimes described as a color. In other words, white is composed of all the parts of the visible spectrum that is why white-colored materials reflect all the light. In the other hand, black do not reflect any color or any part of the visible spectrum but absorb all of it because black is the absence of spectral light or simply the absence of light.
