It is. But the fact that it is white tells us that that is the only color that is reflected off of the wall. Whatever you see an object's color is is what color that object reflects. Every other color you do not see present the object absorbs. So, a white wall will absorb every color but white, and reflect white.
What else can I help you with?
How is a reflection of light off a white wall similar to the reflection of light off a mirror?
when light hits an object some light is absorbed and some is reflected. when it hits a mirror, almost all of that light is reflected. when it hits a white wall a lot of the light is reflected but not enough to form an image our i can detect. a wall is also not smooth so the light is reflected at billions of different angles
Do light rays reflect of a wall?
Yes, light rays can reflect off a wall. When light hits a wall, some of it is absorbed, some is transmitted through the wall, and the rest is reflected. This reflected light is what allows us to see objects around us.
Could you see a white cat in pitch black?
No because in order to see anything light has to be reflected off of it. If it is pitch black no light is there to be reflected off the white cat.
What color is formed when all the colors are reflected?
White light is formed when all colors are reflected off an object. This is because white light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
Does a brick wall refract light?
No, a brick wall does not refract light. Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another with a different density, such as from air to glass. In the case of a brick wall, light is simply absorbed or reflected off its surface.
What makes blue and white?
Blue is perceived by the human eye when certain wavelengths of light are reflected off an object, while white is a combination of all visible wavelengths of light being reflected. When blue light is mixed with white light, the blue light is still visible but may appear lighter or more subdued due to the presence of the white light.
When white light shines on a green leaf why do you see green?
The green color of a leaf is due to the pigment chlorophyll, which absorbs most colors from white light except for green, which is reflected. This reflected green light is what our eyes perceive, making the leaf appear green.
What colors are reflected from black?
no color can be reflected from black because it absorbs all the light!!! but anything can be reflected off of white and all those light colors...
How does light reflect off a mirror?
amsw2. A mirror, provided it is smooth to below the wavelength of light, will reflect the light in the same way you can see a water wave be reflected from a wall.
How does light reflected?
Light can be reflected because it bounces off a surface at an angle.
What will happen when white light falls on an object which does not transmit light?
when white light falls on a body which doesnot transmitts light the either all the light is absorbed by body as like black body and stored it in another form of energy or all the light may get reflected as like white body.
If white things reflect all colors of light then why aren't they mirrors?
The difference is that a mirror has to be VERY smooth, so that the image doesn't get all scrambled as it is reflected. When light is reflected off of a white object, it all goes in random directions.
