Why do you see different colors objects?
We see different colors of objects because they reflect specific wavelengths of light that our eyes perceive. When light strikes an object, certain wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected; the reflected wavelengths correspond to the colors we see. For example, a red apple appears red because it reflects red wavelengths and absorbs others. Our eyes detect these wavelengths and send signals to the brain, which interprets them as color.
What causes the apparent colors of the objects we see?
What we perceive as color is specific wavelengths of light. Objects either emit or reflect light. Again depending on which wavelengths are either emitted or reflected is the color(s) we see. In emitted colors, a given source emits light. If all wavelengths are emitted then what we see is white. The object may emit specific wavelengths of light or it may use some sort of filter that allows only specific wavelengths to pass through and blocks all others. In reflected colors. the object or pigments of or on an object absorb all light wavelengths except certain ones. Those that are not trapped and are reflected or refracted back (as in the case of rainbows) we perceive as color(s).
When we see a colored objects what are we really seeing?
When we see colored objects, we are actually perceiving the wavelengths of light that are reflected off those objects and detected by our eyes. The surface of the object absorbs certain wavelengths and reflects others; the colors we see correspond to the wavelengths that are reflected. Our brain processes this information, interpreting it as color. Therefore, the color we perceive is a result of the interaction between light, the object's material properties, and our visual system.
Why does a rainbow show colors from reds to violet?
There's a broad band of wavelengths of light coming from a rainbow. They range from wavelengths that are too short for your eyes to detect, all the way to wavelengths that are too long for your eyes to detect. Within that band of wavelengths is the total band that your eyes can detect, and you see them as a spread out display of all the colors that your eyes and brain can work together to perceive.
Why do objects appear colourful to us?
Objects appear colorful to us because they reflect or absorb different wavelengths of light. When light strikes an object, the object absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others, which our eyes perceive as color. The color we see is determined by the specific wavelengths of light that are reflected.
Do you see the wavelengths that are reflected or absorbed by matter?
Yes, matter reflects or absorbs certain wavelengths of light depending on its composition and structure. This is why we see different colors in objects, as they reflect certain wavelengths while absorbing others. Spectroscopy is a technique used to study these interactions and identify the composition of matter based on the wavelengths of light it interacts with.
What do humans see different wavelengths of as light?
Humans can see different wavelengths of light as different colors. Shorter wavelengths appear as violet and blue, while longer wavelengths appear as red and orange. The entire spectrum of visible light includes colors from red to violet.
Radiation in the wavelengths you can see is called?
Visible light
Why do you see different colors objects?

How do humans see colors in wavelengths?
Most humans eyes are sensitive to wavelengths between about 400 nanometers and 700 nanometers
What is part of the spectrum that the human eye can see?
The human eye can see a range of wavelengths of light known as the visible spectrum, which includes colors from violet (shorter wavelengths) to red (longer wavelengths). This spectrum extends from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers.
An object's color is determined by the wavelengths of light that it?
reflects back to our eyes. When light hits an object, some wavelengths are absorbed and some are reflected. The wavelengths that are reflected determine the color we see.
Are we humans not able to see light from sun clear because of its brightness or the wavelengths?
We have NO TROUBLE at all seeing visible light wavelengths from the sun.We cannot see the radio, microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, or x-ray "light" from the sun because our eyes are not sensitive to these wavelengths.
How does the em spectrum effect what you see?
The electromagnetic spectrum affects what you see by determining the range of wavelengths of light that are visible to the human eye. Different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors, which combine to create the full spectrum of colors that we can perceive. The interaction of these wavelengths with objects and surfaces determines the colors and brightness that we see.
When you see color is it being reflected or absorbed?
Light that's absorbed is not there any more for anyone to see. You 'see' an object by the light that's reflected from it. If you see color, then it's the color that's NOT absorbed.
What you see when reflected wavelengths of light reach your eyes?
You see colors present in the reflected wavelengths of light reaching your eyes. The color perceived depends on which wavelengths are absorbed and which are reflected by the object. This process allows you to visually perceive the color of objects around you.
Can humans see all the wavelengths or light that arrive on earth from the sun?
no
