Black is the only color that does absorb all wavelengths of light.

White is the color that reflects all wavelengths of light.

All other colors absorb only certain wavelengths of light and reflect the rest.

How is color related to the wavelength of visible light?

It affects the color of the light. If you change the wavelength of visible light, you change the light's color. For instance. Red is a wavelength of approximately 650 nanometers. Orange, about 590. Yellow, 570. Green- 510, Blue, 475 nanometers. Indigo is 445 and Violet is about 400. You can see more here: http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/EDDOCS/Wavelengths_for_Colors.html#red


What is a small segment of total electromagentic spectrum see as color?

Color is a small segment of the total electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. It ranges from violet (shortest wavelength) to red (longest wavelength), with each color corresponding to a specific wavelength of light. The color spectrum includes all the colors of the rainbow, and each color is perceived based on the specific wavelength of light that is present.


What does the color of visible light depend on?

The color of visible light depends on its wavelength. Different wavelengths of light appear as different colors to the human eye. Shorter wavelengths correspond to colors like blue and violet, while longer wavelengths correspond to colors like red and orange.


Can light have a single wavelength?

Yes, light can have a single wavelength, which would correspond to a specific color in the visible spectrum. Different sources of light emit light with varying wavelengths, resulting in the various colors we perceive.


The shortest wavelengths of visible light are?

The shortest wavelengths of visible light are violet light, which typically has a wavelength range of about 380-450 nanometers. This corresponds to the highest frequency and energy within the visible spectrum.

Why are objects a specific color?

Because the pigment that the object has on it absorbs all but the specific wavelength of "light" that the object appears as (orange things absorb all but orange), so when the light reflects back to the eye, that's the color it sees.


Which color is most reflective?

White is the most reflective color as it reflects all colors of light equally and does not absorb any particular wavelength. This is why white surfaces feel cooler in sunlight compared to darker colors which absorb more heat.


What is the relationship between the color white and the wavelength of white light?

The color white is not associated with a specific wavelength of light because white light is a combination of all visible wavelengths of light.


What color of light has the highest wavelength?

Red light has the longest wavelength among all the colors in the visible spectrum.


Objects that absorb all light are what color?

Objects that absorb all light appear black because they do not reflect any light back into our eyes, making them appear void of color.


When all the colors of light absorb it will make what color?

Black.


What is the relationship between the wavelength of white light in the spectrum and its corresponding color?

The relationship between the wavelength of white light in the spectrum and its corresponding color is that different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors. White light is made up of a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum, with each color having a specific wavelength. When white light is separated into its individual colors, each color is seen based on its specific wavelength.


What color after black absorb the light most?

Black is not a color. It is the combination of all colors.


What is the wavelength for the color gray?

Color is created when an object absorbs all kinds of light except one. In other words, there are basically seven different kinds of light. These are: red light, orange light, yellow light, green light, blue light, indigo light, and violet or purple light. The leaves on a tree appear green because they absorb red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and purple light, but the leaves do not absorb green light. Instead, it reflects this light back to your eyes. Therefore, you see the color green. This is the simple definition of how all color works.How does the color black get created then? Black is formed when every kind of light is absorbed. White is formed when every kind of light is reflected. Gray is created when every kind of light is half-absorbed and half-reflected at the same time.Due to the fact it accepts every kind of light, scientists do not consider it to be a color. Since it is not a color, it does not have a wavelength.


How much light can the color white absorb?

White does not absorb light - it reflects all visible light waves, while black absorbs all visible light and reflects nothing.

What color had the shortest wavelength?

The visible light with the shortest wavelength is the last color you can see at the violet end of the spectrum. It's not exactly the same for all eyes.
