Try it! For example, take a white sheet of paper out into the sunlight. If you think about it, you might even remember having seen - or not seen - white objects in white light in the past.

What happens when light falls on a white objects?

We see colours because of white light (visible light) which is made up of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple light. We see colours when some fo these colours are absorbed into the object and the others are reflected. If an object is white that means all the light reflects off the object


What will happen when white light falls on an object which does not transmit light?

when white light falls on a body which doesnot transmitts light the either all the light is absorbed by body as like black body and stored it in another form of energy or all the light may get reflected as like white body.


Why does not white light when falls on objects makes them appear as black or white?

Many objects do appear black or white when light falls on them. If they are black, it means that the object is absorbing all wavelengths of visible light and not reflecting any. If they are white, it means that they are reflecting all wavelengths of visible light and not absorbing any. The color of an object is due to the wavelengths of light that it reflects.


How do you see colours in white light?

White light contains the many colors you see. The illuminated object will absorb and reflect the light as its' materials see fit. A black object will absorb all colors. A white object reflects all colors. Everything else lies in between there somewhere.


How do you see black and white?

Why does the color white occur?

There are two ways that the color white occurs, as light and as the color of an object. When you see white light it is a combination of many colors of light, because white light is a combination of all light. When you see a white object, that object is reflecting all of the colors of light back at you, because that surface doesn't absorb any of the colors of light.

What has to happen to light for you to see objects?

You can see an object because white light reflects off the object. If you are looking at an orange in blue light, for example, you would see black because the orange is absorbing the blue light. So, for you to see an object, light of the same color has reflect off of it. White light is composed of all the colors of light.


We can see through a glass how can we see through a glass?

When the light falls on an object , then it can be visible to our eyes , because of light . This is called reflection on an object . Hence , the statement : We can see through a glass has a question that : How will we see through a glass ? So whenever the object is in the path of the light the object is visible to us .


Why do you see white object?

Light is made up of all the colours in the spectrum (rainbow). We see white objects because the white is reflected off the object and into our eyes.


When white light is reflected . what color will the object appear?

The color of the object that you see will depend on the wavelengths of light that are reflected. Objects appear a certain color because they absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others. White light contains all colors of the spectrum, so the color you see is the result of the wavelengths that are reflected by the object.


When light falls on an object which side do shadows fall?

The shadow will fall on the opposite side that the light hit the object. Assuming that the object is a solid object that you cannot see through, there would be no light on the other side, hence causing the shadow.


What happens when rays of white light strike a yellow opaque object?

The yellow object absorbs most of the light and reflects yellow light. White light is a combination of different colors, and the yellow object absorbs all colors except yellow, which is what we see.
