What determines the color of an opaque object?
the wavelength of the reflected light :)
What determines the color of an object when it reaches your eye?
the amount of light around you
What determines the amount of sliding friction?
the ammount of force and the surface the object is sliding against
What is the size of an object determines whether it will float water?
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
What will happen to an object wavelength as the object move toward you?
The wavelength will be shorter!

What is the relationship between wavelengths and temperature?
There is a relationship between the temperature of an object and the wavelength at which the object produces the most light. When an object is hot, it emits more light at short wavelengths while an object emits more light at long wavelengths when it is cold. The amount of radiation emitted by an object at each wavelength depends on its temperature.

the amount of light around you
Why are carbon dioxide and water vapor called selective absorbers?
Any object that can specifically absorb and emit radiation (in the form of, say, infrared radiation), is called a selective absorbers. An example is: Snow. It is a good absorber of infrared radiation but poor absorber of sunligh. Object that selectively absorb radiation at some wavelength tend to radiate radiation at that same wavelength. CO2 and water vapors are both very good absorber of infrared radiation but at the same time poor absorber of different forms of solar radiation that are visible to us.
What is inertia and what determines how much i ntertia an object has?
the mass of the object determines the amount of inertia in an object
What determines the amount of sliding friction?
the ammount of force and the surface the object is sliding against

What will happen to an object wavelength as the object move toward you?
The wavelength will be shorter!
What determines the amount of friction?
The roughness of the two objects coming in contact determines the degree of friction.
Resolution decreases as the amount of light coming in on the object increases?
Changes in resolution with wavelength (light microscope) ... power improves as the wavelength of the illuminating light decreases. ...
Can an object vibrate at the wavelength of light?
No object can vibrate at the wavelength of light. wavelength of light depends on the intensity of light and electron movements.
What is the color of an opaque object determined?
the wave length of light that is absorbed by the object determines color--White refects all eye perceptible colors where as black absorbes The colour of an opaque object is determined by the wavelength of the visible spectrum that it reflects. Light is made up of 7 colours, each having a specific wavelength range. Consider an object which appears green to the eye. Actually the object is not green in colour, it only reflects the waves pertaining to green wavelength range. All other wavelength are either transmitted or absorbed. The reflected wave reaches our retina and is perceived as that colour.
