Why does an object appear red when white light is shone on it?
Because white light is made up of all the colors of the spectrum, and an object that appears red in color is simply reflecting the color red, a white object refects all the colors of the spectrum while black objects reflect no colors at all.
What happens to the white light when a beam of white light shines on an object that appears to be bright red?
The object absorbs most colors in the white light spectrum except for red, which is reflected. This reflected red light is what we perceive with our eyes as the object's color.
What color light is absorbed by an object that appears red under white light?
The object absorbs all colors of light except for red, which is reflected off the object and is what we perceive as the color red.
Color of an opaque object is the color of light it?
Reflects, other wavelengths (colours) are absorbed.
What colour does a white ball look in red light?
It would appear to be red because it can only reflect the red light.

Is red light reflected or absorbed by an object if the object appears red to your eyes?
The object is reflecting red light. When we see an object as red, it appears that color because it is reflecting red light and absorbing other colors in the visible light spectrum.
What Think of the seven colours of the rainbow Now explain why a stop sign appears red and white printer paper appears white?
We see colours because of the light absorbed by the object in view. White paper absorbs all the colours of the rainbow - so only white is reflected. A red stop sigh absorbs all colours except for red & white.
What colours of light does red reflect?
Red objects reflect red light and absorb other colors of light. This means that when white light shines on a red object, the red wavelengths are reflected back to our eyes, making the object appear red.
Does looking through red glass at a red object with a white background look white?
No, looking through red glass at a red object with a white background will not make the red object appear white. Instead, the red object will appear darker or more saturated against the white background. This is because the red glass will filter out most of the red light, making the object's color more pronounced.
Why does a stop sign appear red and white paper appears white?
How are we to know that the color I call red, is in all actuality the color you call red? Maybe my white is your red, and your white is my red. How do we know?!
Why an object appears yellow in daylight appears red when illuminated with red light and red when illuminated with magenta light?
Our eyes only see the colours red, green and blue, in varying levels. It is our brain that converts combinations of these into the many millions of colours that we can perceive.An object that appears yellow under white light is reflecting colours that cause both our red and green cones (cells in our eyes that respond to colour) to fire. Note we have no yellow cones in our eyes.When the same object is placed under red light, then only red light is reflected from the object, and thus only the red cones respond, causing us to see the object as red.
If a white object is in white light what reflects and what absorbs?
A white object will reflect the white light. (that's why we perceive the object to be white).
