Which term is used to describe objects that are visible because of reflected light?
Yes the light reflects off an object and then into your eye, you eye then turns that image the right way round, really we see things upside down :) Yes the light reflects off an object and then into your eye, you eye then turns that image the right way round, really we see things upside down :)

What does green stuff and brown stuff mean in science?
Green means that the object in question absorbs all of the light in the visible spectrum except for green which is reflected. Brown means that the object in question absorbs all of the light in the visible spectrum except for brown which is reflected.
Instrument that makes small distant objects visible?
An instrument that makes small, distant objects visible is a telescope. Binoculars and scopes are also used for seeing long distance.
Used to magnify objects that are not visible to the naked eye?
microscope
Why does black absorb heat and light?
Objects appear white when they reflect all wavelengths of visible light. Reflection of various wavelengths of light means that they are scattering the light back into the space surrounding the object, rather than absorbing that energy. Objects appear black when they absorb all wavelengths of visible light, thus absorbing that energy (some of which is converted to heat).
Do all kinds of light microscopes use visible light to illuminate objects?
yes they do
What term is used to describe objects that are visible of reflected light?
The term used to describe objects that are visible or reflect light is "luminous."
Which term is used to describe objects are visible because of reflected light?
illuminatedThats the right answer for a plus.
What term is used to describe objects that are visible because of reflected light?
The term used to describe objects that are visible because of reflected light is "luminous." However, if you're referring specifically to objects that do not emit their own light but are visible due to reflecting light from another source, the term "illuminated" is more appropriate. These objects can be seen only when light from a source, like the sun or a lamp, bounces off them.
What term describes an object that are visible because of reflected light?
An object that is visible because of reflected light is called "luminous" or "reflective."
What happens to visible light when it strikes an object?
When visible light strikes an object, it can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The color of the object is determined by which wavelengths of visible light are reflected back to our eyes. Objects that appear white reflect most of the visible light, while objects that appear black absorb most of the visible light.
Why do you see objects as different colors when light shines on them?
Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.
Why would objects that reflect all the objects appear white?
Objects that reflect all colors of light appear white because they are reflecting the entire visible spectrum equally. When all colors are reflected, they combine to create white light. This is in contrast to objects that absorb all colors, which appear black because they are not reflecting any light.
The color that an object appears to be depends on the?
The color that an object appears to be depends on the wavelengths of visible light that are absorbed and reflected by the object's surface. Objects absorb certain wavelengths and reflect others, with the reflected wavelengths determining the color we perceive.
What is an Optical Telescope for?
It is used to observe features of stars, planets, and other celestial objects by their visible light (generated or reflected).
What processes produce the different colors we see opaque objects?
Different materials absorb different wavelengths of visible radiation from sources like the sun or light bulbs. The wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected as visible radiation, and the color we see depends on the wavelength of that reflected light, with a longer wavelength correlating to more reddish colors, and shorter wavelengths with more bluish colors. White objects reflect all of the visible radiation that strike them, which is why they absorb less heat than black objects, which reflect much less visible radiation.

Why can't we see objects in a darkened room?
In order to see, the eye must receive light; and darkness is the absence of light. Most of the objects we see around us are visible by reflected light -- reflected sunlight or reflected artificial light. Since darkness is the absence of light, there is no light in the darkness to be reflected from chairs, tables, or people to our eyes, and therefore we can not see these objects.
