What colors do you see when you look at an opaque object?

When looking at an opaque object, you see the colors that are reflected off its surface. The color perceived depends on the wavelengths of light that are reflected by the object. The colors visible to you are the ones that are not absorbed by the object's surface.


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.


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.


Why do opaque objects appear to hve different colors?

This applies not only to opaque objects. The basic idea is that white light is a mixture of different colors, and objects tend to reflect the different colors - the components of white light - in different proportions. For example, an object that reflects most of the red light but not much of the other colors will look red.


Why do you see the color of an object better if you look straight at it?

When you look directly at an object, more light from the object enters your eye and is focused on the fovea, the area of the retina with the highest concentration of color-detecting cones. This allows for better color perception because the object is being viewed under optimal conditions where the light is most accurately processed by the cones.

It depends on which frequencies are reflected off the object.

Can an opaque object produce a shadow?

Yes. Definitely it produces but its intensity will be low.answer 2 In general ONLY opaque objects will produce a shadow. A truly transparent object would not produce a shadow. Look up Opaque in your dictionary.


In 3ds max8 the current color of any object looks black and white partly if we look for the color of the object in the object color pallete?

yes


What determines the look back time of an object?

The look back time of an object is determined by how long it takes the light from that object, usually a star or galaxy, to reach an observer here on earth.


What does the color opaque look like?

The word opaque can be used to DISCRIBE any colour... the word means to block the passage of light. (You can't see through it) See the related link below.


What color do you see when you look at an object that reflects no color at all?

Black. Something that doesn't reflect any color of light will look dark, black.


What color will a blue object look like in green light?

it will look black but I am not sure


Why doesn't a colored opaque object reflect a one color image?

Because most of them aren't shiny. Those that are do sort of reflect a monochromatic image; look at a glass Christmas ornament sometime. You only get reflections when the object is smooth enough; if there are small imperfections in the surface, the light gets scattered every which way and there's no image.


What is opaque in cooking?

Opaque is between clear and solid. A couldy jellow is opaque you cannot see through it, but you can kinda look into it. If you made clear jello then added some skim milk into it so it is couldy it would be opaque. This is used in cooking when cooking fish or vegetables like onions.
