When white light shines on a painting what allows you to see the colours?
Each color of paint has it's own characteristics of which part of white light that it absorbs and/or reflects. It's the reflected light that gets to your eyes ... and is interpreted by your brain into "color".
How can a shadow be reflected?
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.
The color of an opaque object is the same as the light that is?
...reflected off of it. For example, leaves appear green as their pigment (chlorophyll) only reflects the wavelength of green light.
Can light be reflected?
The reflection of light occurs when an electromagnetic wave (light) is absorbed by an electron (particle) which gains kinetic energy (speed) and then releases its energy in the form of light. This effect can be explained classically by Thomson scattering and more recently Compton scattering. Some light is not reemitted due to resonance and retention of kinetic energy by the electron resulting in absorption. If the absorption is at a certain wavelength, the reflected light appears to be a certain color. Mirrors are able to create an image because they have a very smooth surface. This enables the surface to reflect light uniformly as opposed to scattering it in all directions like most objects.
If yellow xanthophylls were present in the extract why did the extract appear green?
The green color in plant extracts is predominantly due to chlorophyll, which absorbs red and blue light, giving off green light. Xanthophylls, which are also present, absorb blue and green light, but they appear yellow since they reflect yellow wavelengths. As a result, the green color from chlorophyll overwhelms the yellow color from xanthophylls, making the overall extract appear green.
Why do things have color?
Objects have color because of the way they interact with light. When light strikes an object, some of the light is absorbed and some is reflected. The reflected light is what we see as color. The specific color we perceive is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected.
If a substance appears red in color then what color light is reflected?
I think it's mainly the red light that's reflected from the object.
What colors of light are reflected and absorbed?
An object appears a certain color because it reflects certain wavelengths of light and absorbs others. The color of light that is reflected is the color that we perceive, while the colors that are absorbed are not reflected back to our eyes.
What makes up color?
Color is actually the color of the light wave that gets reflected from a surface.For example if a car is red, a red color light is reflected from the car and the remaining 6 colors are either absorbed or partially reflected.

Where does the light reaction take place and what color light is reflected?
.
What color of light will be reflected if red and yellow paint are mixed together?
When red and yellow paint are mixed together, the color of light that will be reflected is orange.
What controls the brightness of the color of an object?
The brightness of the color of an object is determined by the amount of light that is reflected by the object's surface. The color itself is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected, with the object appearing brighter or darker depending on how much light is reflected back to our eyes.
Why color objects s are the color they are?
The color is reflected by the light to your eyes. That is why you see color.
How does color appear?
Color appears when light hits an object and is reflected back to our eyes. The object absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others, which our eyes perceive as color. The specific color we see is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected.
Is the color of an object the sum of the color it will reflect or transmit?
The color of an object is determined by the specific wavelengths of light that are reflected or transmitted by the object. The color we perceive is the sum of the light that is reflected or transmitted, and not the light that is absorbed by the object.
