How do we see non -luminous objects?

We can see non-luminous objects because the light reflect off the object and into our eyes that's why at night you can only see a faint out line of the objects around you


Why do objects look certain colors?

Objects look certain colors because they reflect and absorb particular wavelengths of light. The color we perceive is the result of the wavelengths that are reflected back to our eyes. For example, an object appears red because it reflects red light waves and absorbs other colors.


Is the temperature of a luminous flame greater or less than that of a nonluminous flame?

a non-luminous flame- when the air hole of the Bunsen Burner is open"when the air hole is open, more oxygen can enter the burner; therefore, hotter flame will be produced."its color is transparent or blueBlue flames are the hottest flamesa luminous flame is produced when the air hole is closed.."if the air hole is closed, oxygen cannot enter the burner; therefore, least hotter because the combustion is not fully complete with least oxygenA luminous flame has an outer of orange color and an inner of blue.Luminous flames emits more light than non-luminous flames.three things to produce flame1.fuel2.oxygen3.friction or source of sparkLuminous objects emit light. The sun is luminous; the moon is non-luminous.


What colour would green laces look in red light and why?

black


Why are objects coloured?

It is because they reflect certain wavelengths (colors) of light more readily than others. White light contains all wavelengths of light. You can see this by passing the light through a prism or by observing a rainbow. Now, if you have an object such as an orange and shine white light on it. The red and yellow will be reflected and the other colors will be absorbed. Thus, we see an orange object. Now, if you shined pure blue light on the orange it would look black, because there would be no red or yellow to reflect.

Can a flashlight be luminous and nonluminous?

No, a flashlight is considered luminous because it generates its own light by converting battery power into light energy. Nonluminous objects do not produce their own light and rely on external light sources for illumination.


Are able to see non-luminous objects because light has undergone?

diffuse reflection


How can a flashlight can be luminous and nonluminous?

A flashlight can be luminous when turned on, emitting light from the bulb. It can be nonluminous when turned off because at that point it is not emitting any light.


Are light bulbs nonluminous?

Yes, light bulbs themselves are considered nonluminous because they do not produce light on their own. They require electricity to pass through a filament, which then emits light, making the bulb appear luminous.


What is luminouse and non-luminouse?

i think luminous means when something gives off light and non-luminous means when something does not give off light.


What does nonluminous body mean?

A nonluminous body is an object that does not emit light of its own. Instead, it reflects light from other sources, such as the Sun or artificial light sources. Examples of nonluminous bodies include the Moon, planets, and most asteroids.


What is the color of nonluminous object?

The color of a non-luminous object is determined by the way it reflects light. Objects appear to have color based on the wavelengths of light that are reflected off their surfaces and into our eyes. The color we perceive depends on the specific wavelengths of light that are reflected and absorbed by the object.


Why do we see things?

Because light reflects off objects


Is a mirror non-luminous and why?

Yes, a mirror is nonluminous. It does not emit light by itself, it only reflects light emitted by other things.


We see objects because?

light from the objects reflects off their surfaces and enters our eyes. Our eyes then convert this light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain, which processes the information to create images of the objects we see.
