How do you see black and white?

Is white light monochromatic light?

No exactly the contrary, white light is made up of light of all the colours of the rainbow. And you need to take that literally. The rainbow has these colours because rain acts as a prism and breaks the white light of the sun apart in the colours it is made up of. Because monochromatic means 'of one and the same colour', white light is not monochromatic. LASER light is always monochromatic: all particles have exactly the same wavelength (colour)


What colour will an object appear to be under White light if it reflects all the colours of life?

The object will appear white under white light if it reflects all the colors of light. This is because white light is a combination of all visible colors in the spectrum.


What colour will an object appear to be under white light if it reflects all the colours of light?

The object will appear white. When an object reflects all colors of light equally, it will appear white because white light is a combination of all colors in the visible spectrum.


What light contains many colours?

White light contains many colors because it is composed of a combination of different wavelengths of light. When white light passes through a prism, it gets separated into its component colors, forming a spectrum of colors like a rainbow.
