Actually, it depends on witch object it is. If the opaque object is brown, then that means the object absorbed most of the colors of the white light and reflects mostly the brown colors.

Which colors of light do you see when you look at an opaque object?

You see the colors of light that are reflected off the object. The colors you see depend on the wavelengths of light that the object reflects. For example, if an object reflects green light and absorbs all other colors, you will perceive the object as green.


What process produces different colors we see in opaque objects?

The colors we see in opaque objects are produced when certain wavelengths of light are absorbed by the object and others are reflected. The reflected light is what we perceive as color. Different colors are seen based on which wavelengths of light are absorbed and reflected by the object.


What determines the color you see when you look at an opaque object?

The color you see when looking at an opaque object is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected off the object's surface and into your eyes. The object absorbs some wavelengths and reflects others, which your eyes perceive as color. Different colors are the result of different combinations of reflected wavelengths.


Can you see through a opaque object?

No, that is what opaque means. Light does not go through an opaque object. An object that is translucent will allow light through, but is opaque enough to keep you from seeing clearly through it (think about frosted glass used for bathroom windows). Transparent is "see through".


What happens to the colors of white light when it hits opaque colored surfaces?

Opaque colored surfaces absorb certain colors of white light and reflect others. The color we perceive is the result of the reflected light that the surface does not absorb. So, if white light hits an opaque green surface, for example, the surface absorbs most colors except green, which we then see.

What color can you see when you look at an opaque object?

It depends on which frequencies are reflected off the object.


When you cannot see through a substance is called?

If you can't see through an object clearly it is an opaque object.


Is a book opaque object?

Yes. Opaque means you can not see any light through the object.

Is opaque an object?

you cant see anything


Why do you see color in an opaque object?

You see color in an opaque object because of the way light interacts with its surface. When light hits the object, certain wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected back to your eyes, which gives the object its color. This reflected light is what enables you to see the color of the opaque object.


When light is bounced off an object it cannot pass through it is?

There are many objects that no light can pass through, although of course, it depends on what type of light you're talking about. The name of the type of object that visible light cannot pass through is called opaque.


What cause the color you see when you look at an opaque object?

White light is made up of all the colours of the rainbow. When light hits an object, some colours (wavelengths) are absorbed, and some reflected. The colour you see is a combination of all the reflected colours.
