Black clothes absorb most of the light that hits them, converting the light energy into heat. This is why black clothes feel warmer when exposed to sunlight compared to lighter-colored clothes, which reflect more light.

What happens when a blue light is shined onto a different colour?

When a blue light is shined onto a different color, the object will absorb some of the blue light and reflect the rest. The color that we perceive is the result of the wavelengths of light that are reflected off the object. Different colors absorb and reflect light in unique ways, leading to the variety of colors we see around us.

What colour would a cyan object be when light is shined on it?

When light is shined on a cyan object, it will appear cyan as long as the light source contains both blue and green wavelengths, which are the colors that make up cyan. If the light is white, the cyan object will reflect the blue and green light and thus still appear cyan. However, if the light is only red, the cyan object will appear black because it cannot reflect that color.
