White Light
What else can I help you with?
What colors of light are reflected by a opaque white object?
Since it appears green in white light, it reflects the green part of the spectrum, absorbing all the other colors. In red light, it would not reflect any color, thus appearing black. Opaque objects absorb some of the light, and reflect the rest.
Do opaque object absorbs all the incident light on it?
Be careful not to confuse: Opaque objects are those that do not allow light to pass through it, but they can reflect light. It is BLACK objects that absorb all the incident light on it. To conclude, opaque objects do not necessarily absorb all the incident light on them but black objects ABSORB all the incident light on them (and are, of course, opaque)
Why the colors white and black appear white and black?
Light is really all the colors of the rainbow for example if and object is blue it absorbs all colors except blue so a white object would look white because it REFLECTS all the colors of the rainbow a black object looks black because it ABSORBS all the colors
What colors are reflected from black?
no color can be reflected from black because it absorbs all the light!!! but anything can be reflected off of white and all those light colors...
Why are things certain colours?
Objects appear certain colors because they absorb some wavelengths of light and reflect others. The color we perceive is the result of the light that is reflected off the object and into our eyes. Different colors are the result of different wavelengths of light being reflected.

What processes produce the different colors we see opaque objects?
Different materials absorb different wavelengths of visible radiation from sources like the sun or light bulbs. The wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected as visible radiation, and the color we see depends on the wavelength of that reflected light, with a longer wavelength correlating to more reddish colors, and shorter wavelengths with more bluish colors. White objects reflect all of the visible radiation that strike them, which is why they absorb less heat than black objects, which reflect much less visible radiation.

What absorbes light?
black paint.
When all colors are absorbed what color is the item?
The object appears black when no colors are reflected. (In actuality, some light is reflected by all objects, making black simply a very dark gray.)

Is black the base of colors?
No, black is a mixture of all colors. Color is produced by reflected light is reflected. Like a red object absorbs all colors but red, which is being reflected and is what you see. Black reflects all colors, and whites absorbs all.
What happens when all colors are absorbed and no colors are reflected?
You get black
