The surface will look Red, because white reflects all colours and absorb none. If you hit a red light on, say, green then that would look black because green will absorb all the red but if it was a green light then it would look green. Every colour, except white, absorbs colours except itselves.
What else can I help you with?
Does paper reflect light?
Yes, but since its surface is uneven (at atomic level), light is not reflected as in the case of a mirror. Anything that we can see (except black) reflects light. The white paper, for instance, reflects all the colours of white light and this is why it appears white to our eye.
What happens when white light is shone into a mirror?
It reflects back and a small amount is absorbed into its reflective surface.
What happens when you look at a colored paper and then look at a white sheet of paper?
they both look white
How is white and black different and say it with detail?
White objects reflects visual "light" where as black objects absorb it. black the color is every color so it absorbs all the light(every color in the spectrum), and white is the lack of color so it reflects all the light(every color in the spectrum) that's why you get warmer when you wear black in the sun because it absorbs the sun and white reflects it.
Does paper absorb heat?
Depending on the source of the heat energy: -A darker piece of paper would absorb more energy from light sources, then a white piece of paper. This is due to the fact that the white piece of paper would reflect most of the light energy, whereas the dark paper would absorb that energy. This light energy can then be converted into heat energy, leading the dark paper to have more heat energy then the white paper -Heat from a source such as hot water being poured on the paper, would not lead to any color related heat difference
What happens to light when it hits a white piece of paper?
When light hits a white piece of paper, the paper reflects most of the light across the entire visible spectrum. This reflection is what makes the paper appear white to our eyes, as it doesn't absorb any specific color wavelength and instead reflects all wavelengths equally.
What colors does white paper reflect?
White light is made up of all the colors. If a paper is white, it is reflecting all the colors of light. We know that the color of an object is determined by the color(s) of light it reflects. If an object is green, for example, it reflects green light and absorbs all other colors.
Why does a sheet of paper appear white?
A sheet of paper appears white because it reflects most of the light that hits it. The material that makes up the paper scatters the light in different directions, giving it a white appearance to our eyes.
Does paper reflect light?
Yes, but since its surface is uneven (at atomic level), light is not reflected as in the case of a mirror. Anything that we can see (except black) reflects light. The white paper, for instance, reflects all the colours of white light and this is why it appears white to our eye.
What happens when you shine a red light on a blue piece of paper?
The paper appears dark because red light is absorbed by the blue pigment, not reflected. The blue pigment absorbs red light and reflects blue light, which is why the paper appears blue under white light.
Why is there no mirror image formed when light reflects off white paper?
A mirror image is not formed when light reflects off white paper because the surface of the paper is diffuse, scattering light in many directions. A mirror image is only formed when light reflects off a smooth and highly reflective surface that preserves the angle of incidence.
Why does paper reflect light?
White reflects more light than any other colour, while black absorbs more light than any other color. To get technical, photons that are not absorbed by the paper will bounce off (be reflected by) the paper and make it appear lighter or white. Short answer: because most paper is white.
Why does black paper absorb light faster than white paper?
This is because back aborbs heat where as white reflects heat
Why does a white piece of paper appear white in white light red in red light blue in blue light and so on?
White surface reflects all wavelengths of visible light spectrum (ie. white color is a mixture of all the other colors). If the light that falls on the surface has one specific wavelength, only that wavelength occurs in the light reflected.
What happens if you put a white piece of paper under a green light?
If you put a piece of white paper under a green light all that will happen is the paper will turn green. The only time this will vary is if you have special ink that will show up under certain colored light.
Why black paper give out heat best?
Colour depends on what light something absorbs and reflects, white paper reflects all light so its white, and black absorbs all, thus, absorbing more light, and transmitting infra red waves
What colors do white paper reflect?
All of them. White light is formed by all the colours of the visible spectrum combined.
