Seeing as grass is green, PETANDPEZ would have to say that the colour reflected is green. However, when you see BROWN grass, green light is still being reflected only at a much lower intensity.
Grass looks black in blue light, because blue is an opaque color and green color absorbs it
White light. The colors that we see are actually the colors NOT absorbed by the object they strike: for example, if the sun's light strikes a pink triangle, it is because the triangle absorbs all the frequencies of light EXCEPT for the color pink. If the only color we see is green reflected off a car, then all wavelengths of color are absorbed except for green.
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.
The world has color because objects reflect and absorb certain wavelengths of light. When light hits an object, the object absorbs some wavelengths and reflects others, which our eyes perceive as color. The perception of color is a result of how our eyes and brain process these reflected light waves.
When mixing paint (subtractive) red and green gives a brown color. When red and green light are combined (additive, e.g., using diodes) a yellow color is seen.
The green color is reflected and the other colors are absorbed
When white light, which contains "all colors" of light, strikes an object, that object will absorb some light and will reflect some light. The colors that are not absorbed will be reflected, and those reflected colors will make up the color of the objects. Let's look at an example. If white light strikes grass, most of the green is reflected, and the reds, oranges, yellows and blues are absorbed. That's why the grass appears green to us. The grass could be said to be a "green reflecting" material. Red reflecting materials appear red, and blue reflecting materials appear blue. Further, different combinations of reflected light allow us to see the many variations in color and in color intensity that we are able to detect.
Objects have color because of the way they interact with light. When light strikes an object, some of the light is absorbed and some is reflected. The reflected light is what we see as color. The specific color we perceive is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected.
Grass appears green because it contains a pigment called chlorophyll which absorbs most wavelengths of light except green, which is reflected back to our eyes. This is why our eyes perceive grass as green in color.
The perception of color is due to the reflected light. When light falls on a blade of grass, it absorbs all the electromagnetic waves in the visible spectrum, except green light, which it reflects. This reflected green light falls onto the rod cells of our iris, which perceive it as green.
It depends on which frequencies are reflected off the object.
-- Violet is most reflected by things that look violet, like pansies.-- Red is most reflected by things that look red, like fire engines.-- White light is the mixture of all colors. It's reflected most by thingsthat reflect all colors, like chalk and white shirts.-- Black is not a color. It's the absence of light of any color. Things that absorblight of every color and reflect no light of any color look black.
All plants contain the molecule Chlorophyll which is used by most plants in the process of photosynthesis. This Chlorophyll molecule absorbs Red and Blue light to use the energy from these wavelengths leaving green light to be reflected. It is this reflected green light that makes the leaves of plants look green.
Color is reflected when light strikes an object and some wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected. The reflected wavelengths determine the color that our eyes perceive. Objects appear white when all wavelengths are reflected, and black when all wavelengths are absorbed.
Black is absorbed! White is reflected. :)
Buffalo grass is very short in length, a lighter green color, grows in clumps, spreads slowly, drough resistant but very hardy and is a true native grass
Color is actually the color of the light wave that gets reflected from a surface.For example if a car is red, a red color light is reflected from the car and the remaining 6 colors are either absorbed or partially reflected.
