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.
What else can I help you with?
How is the moon able to provide light to the earth?
The moon does not generate its own light. Instead, it reflects sunlight that hits its surface back towards Earth. This reflected sunlight is what we perceive as moonlight.
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.
How much light is reflected and transmitted when light strikes at a perpendicular to a surface?
Only about 4% is reflected, the rest is transmitted. 3. (29.1) When light strikes perpendicular to the surface of a pane of glass, how much light is reflected and how much is transmitted? Normal to the surface refers to a line that is drawn perpendicular to the surface (90°).
When all colors are absorbed you see?
When all colors are absorbed, you see black. This is because black is the result of the absence of visible light, meaning that no wavelengths are being reflected back to your eyes. In contrast, when an object reflects some wavelengths and absorbs others, the colors you perceive are those that are being reflected.
When all incoming light is reflected what color do we see?
When all incoming light is reflected, we perceive the color of the surface that is reflecting the light. For example, a red object reflects red wavelengths while absorbing others, so we see it as red. If a surface reflects all wavelengths of visible light equally, it appears white. Conversely, if it reflects no light, it appears black.
When sunlight strikes an object and the light is sent in all directions the light is said to be?
When sunlight strikes an object and is sent in all directions, the light is said to be reflected.
Is a mirror opaque or translucent?
Opaque- it does not allow any light to pass (all light is reflected back).
What color is seen when all wavelengths of light are absorbed?
Black is seen when all wavelengths of light are absorbed because no light is reflected back to the eyes.
Which colours of light are being reflected by a white shirt when viewed in white light?
All colors of visible light are being reflected by a white shirt when viewed in white light. White is the combination of all colors in the visible spectrum, so when white light hits the shirt, all colors are reflected back to your eyes, giving it the appearance of being white.
How is the color black formed?
Light is made up of 7 colours, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. So when light reflects off, say, an orange book, the colour orange is reflected back into your eyes and the orange book absorbs all the other colours, making us see orange. When we see black, no light is reflected. All the colours are absorbed so no light is reflected back into our eyes, making black. Hope this helped! ;)))
Can light reflect and absorb and transmit all at the same time?
Yes, light can be reflected, absorbed, and transmitted simultaneously. When light encounters a medium, some of it is reflected back, some is absorbed by the medium, and some is transmitted through it. The amount of light that is reflected, absorbed, and transmitted depends on the properties of the material it interacts with.
How is the moon able to provide light to the earth?
The moon does not generate its own light. Instead, it reflects sunlight that hits its surface back towards Earth. This reflected sunlight is what we perceive as moonlight.
What happens when all colors are absorbed?
When all colors are absorbed by an object, it appears black to our eyes. This is because black is the absence of any reflected light. The object absorbs all incoming light, allowing no colors to be reflected back.
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...
If an object absorbs all the light that hits it.what color is it?
If an object absorbs all light, it appears black because all of the light is being absorbed and none is being reflected back to our eyes.
A green object appears green because?
a. blue and yellow light are being reflected by the object.b. blue and yellow light are being absorbed by the object.c. green light is absorbed by the object.d. green light is reflected by the object.
What colors of light are reflected by an opaque white objects?
An opaque white object reflects all colors of light equally, which is why it appears white to our eyes. The object absorbs very little light, causing most colors to be scattered and reflected back to create a white appearance.
