the wave length of light that is absorbed by the object determines color--White refects all eye perceptible colors where as black absorbes The colour of an opaque object is determined by the wavelength of the visible spectrum that it reflects. Light is made up of 7 colours, each having a specific wavelength range. Consider an object which appears green to the eye. Actually the object is not green in colour, it only reflects the waves pertaining to green wavelength range. All other wavelength are either transmitted or absorbed. The reflected wave reaches our retina and is perceived as that colour.

When light is bounced off an object it cannot pass through it is?
There are many objects that no light can pass through, although of course, it depends on what type of light you're talking about. The name of the type of object that visible light cannot pass through is called opaque.
Is wood transparent opaque or translucent?
Opaque means when an object does not allow light to pass through.
How can you make a transparent object opaque?
Paint it.
Is color a property of an object?
Yes. The colour of an object is determined by what frequenc(y/ies) of electromagnetic wave it emits in the visible spectrum. The colour of an object is a physical property of that object.
Is opaque black?
No, any color may be opaque, even white. Opaque is simply the quality of not being transparent or translucent.
When you are looking at an opaque object the color you see is that which is?
reflected
What determines the color of an opaque object?
the wavelength of the reflected light :)
What determines the color you see when you look at an opaque object?
light
What color can you see when you look at an opaque object?
It depends on which frequencies are reflected off the object.
What determines the color of an translucent object?
The colour of something is usually determined by the light waves reflected by it. We see what is reflected and not what is absorbed. This applies to opaque objects as well as translucent ones.
Color of an opaque object is the color of light it?
Reflects, other wavelengths (colours) are absorbed.
How does opaque objects gets its color?
First, you must understand that all color is determined by red blue and yellow light in different combinations. Any color is caused by light being reflected off the object. A red object for example reflects red light, and absorbs blue and yellow.
Why an opaque or non luminous appears to be certain color?
First, you must understand that all color is determined by red blue and yellow light in different combinations. Any color is caused by light being reflected off the object. A red object for example reflects red light, and absorbs blue and yellow.

What is the color that an object appears to be determined by?
It is determined by the wavelengths of light that reach your eyes.
What is behind an opaque object?
Whatever you stick the opaque object in front of.
