How do we see colors?

We see colors by the different wavelength that is not absorbed (or what's being reflected) by the object that we see. These objects do NOT own colors. It's the surfaces of the objects that allows things to reflect or be absorbed. Ex. When I see a red book, the other colors such as orange, yellow, green, blue etc. are being absorbed by that red book from a light source except for the color red. The reflected color(s) (in the example, the color red) is then captured or perceived by our eyes. Another perspective of "how we see colour?" is that there needs to be some form of light in order for us to see colour and without that light, we wouldn't be able to see colour, let alone see at all. A bonus: If you see white, the object reflects all the wavelength or all the colours. If you see black, the object absorbs all the wavelengths or absorbs all the colours.

What is a textbook considered to visible light?

A book typically reflects light due to its glossy or matte surface, depending on the type of paper and finish used. The reflective properties of the surface determine how much light is bounced off the book.


How is the color black formed?

Light is made up of 7 colours, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. So when light reflects off, say, an orange book, the colour orange is reflected back into your eyes and the orange book absorbs all the other colours, making us see orange. When we see black, no light is reflected. All the colours are absorbed so no light is reflected back into our eyes, making black. Hope this helped! ;)))


Why does a red book appear to be red?

A red book appears red because red light is reflected off the book's surface into our eyes. The book absorbs all other colors of light and only reflects red light back to us, giving it a red appearance.


Why black color absorb all the color but not absorb black?

Because black is not a color ... it's where there is no color at all. At night, when the light in your room is on, everything you see has a color, and when you turn the light off, everything is black ... no color. When you see the colors spread out ... in a rainbow, or a picture of the visible spectrum in a book ... one end is red, the other end is blue, and then there's black on both ends. Black is not a color that magically appears at two different places in the rainbow. It's the way the region appears when there is no more color.

Why is it warm when a book is sitting under a spotlight?

When the book is under the spotlight, it absorbs the light energy which then gets converted to heat energy. This process of light energy being converted to heat energy raises the temperature of the book, making it warm to the touch.
