Consider the mesh of matter and the wavelength of the light. In general the following is the pattern. TRANSMISSION:If the matter mesh is bigger than than the the wavelength of light there is transmission, e.g X-Rays thru matter. ABSORPTION: If the mesh is equal to the wavelength, there is absorption, e.g sunburn. REFLECTION:If the mesh is smaller than the wavelength, there is reflection, e.g Mesh screen antennas.
Your eyes perceive different colors because of the way light is absorbed and reflected by objects. Different colors are created by the varying wavelengths of light that are absorbed and reflected by the objects you see. Your eyes then interpret these different wavelengths as different colors.
Absorbed. Your red ink will look black. "Red" is a long wave-length color. "Blue" is a short one. What looks red in white light is a pigment that reflects red. It won't reflect blue, so it will look dark.
Chlorophyll primarily absorbs red and blue light, while green light is not as readily absorbed and is often reflected or transmitted. This is why plants appear green to our eyes, as the green light is not absorbed but instead reflected, giving leaves their characteristic color.
The light absorbed by chlorophyll initiates the light reactions of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll molecules in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy, which is used to drive the conversion of water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates during photosynthesis.
Veins appear blue because of the way light interacts with the skin. When light passes through the skin, it is absorbed by the tissues and reflected back to our eyes. The blue color of veins is due to the way light is absorbed and scattered by the skin, making them appear blue to our eyes.
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.
Visible light interacts with an object by either being absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The color of the object is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected off its surface. When light is absorbed, it can cause the object to heat up. Transmitted light passes through the object without being absorbed or reflected.
Light can be reflected when it bounces off a surface, refracted when it changes direction while passing through a different medium, transmitted when it passes through a material without being absorbed, and absorbed when its energy is taken in by a material, converting it into other forms of energy such as heat.
Light that is not absorbed is either reflected, refracted, or transmitted.
Light energy that is not absorbed by a material is typically reflected, transmitted, or scattered.
The energy in the wavelengths of light that are not reflected is typically absorbed by the object or surface (resulting in an increase in its temperature) or transmitted through it. In the case of transmission, the light energy can pass through the material and potentially be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted again by other materials it encounters.

Depending on the material and its properties, light waves can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted when they strike an object. The specific outcome is determined by factors such as the object's color, texture, density, and transparency.
When light soaks into an object, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. The specific interaction depends on the properties of the object such as its color and material. Absorbed light is converted into heat energy, reflected light is bounced back, and transmitted light passes through the object.
