What else can I help you with?
What color of light is reflected by leaves?
Leaves appear green because they reflect green light while absorbing other colors. This is due to the presence of chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs most wavelengths of light except green.
What colour will a cyan book illuminated with a blue light viewed through a green filter appear to be?
A cyan colored surface will reflect any blue or green light that is incident. The green filter will remove all colors of light passing through it except green. The book is illuminated with only blue light. Draw your conclusion.
How do objects reflect light to show different colors?
In the visible spectrum of light, all colors have difference frequencies of wave lengths. So, an object that is green would absorb all the frequencies of light with in the spectrum except green, the light reflected from the object then hits our retina and then our brain tells us to interpret that object to be green. The frequencies that are absorbed in to the object are then converted into energy. That's why when you wear black cloths, black absorbs all visible light, you feel warmer, because the light it absorbs is converted into heat. And white would the opposite from that. If you are wondering why they would reflect that certain color, it is because all atoms and molecules have electrons. Electrons in atoms have a natural frequency that they vibrate when light hits them. The light with the same frequency as the natural frequency of the electrons in the atoms would be reflected.
When a white light shines on a green apple what happens?
The green apple absorbs most colors of light but reflects green light. When white light shines on the apple, its surface absorbs all colors except green, which gets reflected back to our eyes, making the apple appear green.
What would an objects colour be if it was green but you shone red light on to it?
A green object absorbs all light except green which is reflected by the pigment. White light is made up of all colors and all except green are absorbed; only green is reflected. If a red light is the only one illuminating a green shirt there is no green to reflect so the shirt will look black.
What happens when you shine yellow light onto green?
When you shine yellow light onto a green surface, the surface will absorb the yellow light and reflect green light. This is because the surface appears green due to its ability to reflect green light while absorbing other colors.
Do green plants reflect all colors of the spectrum?
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
What will be the color reflected by a green surface when yellow light is incident on it?
No light will be reflected, since there is no incident green light to reflect. To a human observer, the surface will appear black.
What colors are green surfaces reflecting?
Green surfaces are absorbing all other color photons, and reflect only green photons, making the surface appear as green.
What color does you eye responed to when you look at a green leaf?
Green - except that your eye doesn't detect "color", just relative frequency. Your brain encodes that into color.
What Colours absorb the red surface?
Blue and green are colors that absorb red light. This means that objects with a blue or green surface will appear to absorb red light and reflect the remaining visible wavelengths.
Why does a green apple appear green under white light?
A green apple appears green under white light because its surface absorbs all colors of light except green. Green light is reflected off the apple's surface and then detected by our eyes, making it appear green.
What color of light is reflected by leaves?
Leaves appear green because they reflect green light while absorbing other colors. This is due to the presence of chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs most wavelengths of light except green.
