Why do you perceive objects as white, black, or another specific color?

Objects are perceived as white, black, or a specific color because of the way they reflect and absorb light. Different colors are created when objects absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others, which our eyes then interpret as specific colors.


Why do black objects appear black in white light?

Black objects absorb most of the visible light that strikes them, reflecting very little light back to our eyes. In white light, which contains all the colors of the spectrum, black objects absorb all colors equally, appearing black to our eyes.


Why would objects that reflect all the objects appear white?

Objects that reflect all colors of light appear white because they are reflecting the entire visible spectrum equally. When all colors are reflected, they combine to create white light. This is in contrast to objects that absorb all colors, which appear black because they are not reflecting any light.

Why do dark objects absorb and white objects reflect light?

Dark objects absorb wavelengths of energy that are in the visible spectrum of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. A black shirt has molecules in it thatt absorbs energies of blue and green and all other colors we humans perceive. White light is made from all of the colors combined. A white shirt has atoms and molecules that absorb all the colors of light and release that energy outwards again.


Describe why you see some objects as black and white?

Objects are coloured because they absorb certain frequencies and absorb others. For example a green object has absorbed red light and what was left, the green light, and so on. A white object reflects all the frequencies (colors), a black one absorbs all.

What colors of light are reflected by a white object?

A white object reflects all colors of light equally, which is why it appears white to our eyes. This means that white objects do not absorb any specific colors of light and instead reflect all wavelengths of visible light.
