The object appears blue because it is absorbing colors in the red and yellow range of the spectrum and reflecting blue light.
Yes, when we see the color of an object, it means that all other colors of light are being absorbed by the object and only the specific color reflected is being experienced by our eyes. This reflected color is what we perceive as the color of the object.
Light that's absorbed is not there any more for anyone to see. You 'see' an object by the light that's reflected from it. If you see color, then it's the color that's NOT absorbed.
If an object absorbs all light, it appears black because all of the light is being absorbed and none is being reflected back to our eyes.
Yes, when light strikes an object, it can either be reflected (bounced off) or absorbed (taken in by the object). The amount of light that is reflected or absorbed depends on the properties of the object, such as its color and material.
Yes, light being absorbed by an object can create shadows because the absorbed light does not reach the area behind the object, resulting in a shadow being formed. The shadow is the absence of light caused by the object blocking the light source.
Visible light interacts with an object by either being absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The color of the object is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected off its surface. When light is absorbed, it can cause the object to heat up. Transmitted light passes through the object without being absorbed or reflected.

We know which colors are absorbed by an object based on the colors that are missing from the light that is reflected off the object. The absorbed colors are those that are not present in the reflected light, causing us to perceive the object as having a certain color.
When light is absorbed by an object, the object gains energy and typically heats up. The absorbed light can also excite electrons in the object's atoms, leading to chemical reactions or the emission of light at a different wavelength.
Some of the light gets soaked in (absorbed) by the object, and some of it bounces off of the object and continues on in another direction. One factor that typically figures into the choice is the wavelength of the light.
The color of an object is determined by the specific wavelengths of light that are reflected or transmitted by the object. The color we perceive is the sum of the light that is reflected or transmitted, and not the light that is absorbed by the object.
The object would appear black. If it were literally absorbing all light and reflecting no light, then you'd be able to see it by contrast with the background... unless the background were also true black, in which case you couldn't see it at all.
When light hits a black object, it is absorbed by the object's surface molecules rather than being reflected. This absorption of light energy causes the object to appear black to our eyes.
