Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light, while carotenoids absorb blue and green light. Some transition metal ions, such as copper and chromium, can absorb light in various colors depending on their oxidation state. Additionally, certain dyes and pigments exhibit color absorption based on their molecular structure.

Why does an orange look orange and and an apple look red?

The colors that we call orange or red are particular frequencies of visible light. An object that reflects mostly the light in a particular frequency will "look" that color. It is the compounds in the skins of fruits that absorb and reflect light in different frequencies, In the case of the apple, the compounds inside the skin absorb a completely different range of frequencies, and are therefore a different color.* Objects that absorb almost all colors of light appear brown or black. Those that absorb little light of any frequency appear white.


Why do different pigments have different colors?

Different pigments absorb light of different wavelengths.


Why do you think are there colors emitted?

There different colors emitted


Why do different colors absorb different amounts of heat energy?

when a substance appears of a particular color, it is actually absorbing all the wave lengths of the light spectrum falling on it and reflecting only one wave length peculiar to that color. So, different colors absorb different wave lengths and hence, different amounts of heat energy.


Can light be different colours?

Yes, light can appear in different colors depending on its wavelength. Different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors in the visible spectrum, such as red, blue, and green. Objects appear to have different colors based on how they absorb and reflect light of varying wavelengths.


Why do objects have different colors?

Objects have different colors because of the way they reflect and absorb light. When light shines on an object, it absorbs some colors and reflects others, which determines the color we see.


Why do coloured objects look different coloured lights?

Colored objects absorb some colors of light and reflect others. When you shine a colored light on an object, the object will absorb the light colors it matches and reflect the colors that it does not. This interaction between the object's color and the light color leads to the object appearing to be a different color under different colored lights.


Will light or dark colors absorb more light to melt the ice cube?

Dark colors absorb heat from light better.


Would different color lights affect the growth of a plant?

yes it would. plants absorb different colors of light better than others. the more light plants absorb, the more they grow. certain colors let in more light energy for the plant.


Can dark or light colors transmit heat?

Dark colors absorb more heat than light colors because they absorb more light energy. Light colors reflect light and heat, making them cooler.


Why do light colors absorb less heat than dark colors?

Colors that appear light appear that way because they absorb less of the incident light, and reflect more of it to you.Colors that appear dark appear that way because they absorb more of the incident light, and reflect less of it to you.


Why do different colors get hotter than others?

Different colors absorb and reflect light differently, affecting how much heat they absorb. Dark colors, like black, absorb more light and therefore heat up more than lighter colors, which reflect more light. This is why dark-colored clothing can feel warmer in the sun compared to lighter-colored clothing.
