Is the color of an object appears to be is the color of light absorbs?

No, the color of an object is the color of light that it reflects, not the color it absorbs. When light shines on an object, the object absorbs some colors and reflects others. The reflected colors are what we see.


How does the color of an object depends on the reflection and the absorption of light?

If it reflects that color of light, you're eyes will see that color being reflected by the object (when the color is being shown on the object, white light contains 'all' colors of visible light). If an object absorbs a color of light you will tend not to see it coming off of the object. Translation: objects will appear the color(s) of light that it reflects. If an object appears red, it reflects red light.


What color is an object when it reflects blue?

Assuming that the light you are shining on the object is white, then the object is also blue. Objects appear a certain color because they reflect that color to our eyes and the rest of the colors in the light are absorbed by the object.


An opaque object has a particular color because it reflects some light and what?

An opaque object has a particular color because it absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others. The reflected light is what we perceive as the object's color.


What describes the visible color of an object?

The light the object reflects.


How is the color of an opaque object determend?

The color of an opaque object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects. The object absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others, which our eyes perceive as color. For example, an object that appears red absorbs most colors of light except for red, which it reflects.


What is the color of an object is?

The color of an object are defined by the wavelengths of visible light that the object reflects. This reflected light is picked up by our eyes and interpreted as color. The other wavelengths of light are absored.


What is the relationship between reflection absorption and color?

The color of an object is the frequency/wavelength of the light it reflects. The light it reflects is the light it receives minus the light it absorbs.


When the color of an object is the color of the light it?

When the color of an object is the same as the color of the light shining on it, the object will appear brightest and most vibrant. This is because the object is absorbing all other colors of light and reflecting only the color that matches its own.


Color of an opaque object is the color of light it?

Reflects, other wavelengths (colours) are absorbed.


What do you call the appearance of an object created by the quality of light it absorbs or reflects?

The appearance of an object created by the quality of light it absorbs or reflects is called its color. The color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected off its surface. Objects appear a certain color because they reflect that color of light and absorb other colors.


What is an Object's actual color in white light?

An object's color is comprised of the wavelengths of light that it reflects - so an orange object reflects reds and yellows while absorbing blues and greens, while a green object is the opposite.
