The wavelengths are corresponded to the color of the light. A blue object will reflect any light radiation expect the color blue. It will absorb the blue light.

When light waves strike a blue object what happens to the light waves of all colors?

When light waves strike a blue object, the object absorbs most of the colors in the light spectrum except for blue. Blue light waves are reflected off the object, giving it its blue color.


If An object which absorbs most of the light waves which strike it but reflect blue frequency?

The object would appear blue to the observer because it reflects the blue frequency of light. This means that the object absorbs most of the other wavelengths of light and only reflects the blue color.


What light will a blue object absorb?

A blue object will absorb most light except blue wavelengths of light, which it will reflect, making the object appear blue. This is because objects appear a certain color based on the wavelengths of light they reflect.


If you shine a blue light on a blue object what color will the object turn?

The object will appear to be blue. However, the object would be indistinguishable from an object that reflects all colors of light. If yellow light were shone on an object that reflects only blue wavelengths, the object would appear to be black.


Why an object that is blue in white light would appear grey or black in green light?

An object that appears blue in white light does so because it absorbs all colors except blue, reflecting blue light. However, in green light, which does not contain any blue light, the object cannot reflect blue light and would therefore appear grey or black as it does not have any other color to reflect in the green light.

Why do red object's look black in blue light?

Red and blue are primary colours therefore they do not contain any other colour. When a blue light is shone onto a red object, all the blue light is absorbed by the red object, and as no red light is being shone for the red object to reflect, no light will be reflected from it and it will appear to be black. It is important to remember that physical colours will only reflect it's light colour equivalent. All other colours are absorbed. So red will reflect red, green will reflect green, and red will absorb green and so on.


What colour will a blue object look in red light?

A blue object will appear black in red light because red light does not contain any blue wavelengths to reflect off the object's surface. Since the object does not reflect any red light, no color will be perceived.


What colour would appear when a blue object is shone on by a red light?

A blue object appears blue because it absorbs most colors and reflects blue light. However, when a red light shines on a blue object, the blue object would absorb the red light and reflect blue, so it would still appear blue.


What happens when a blue light shines on a green object?

When a blue light shines on a green object, the green object will absorb some of the blue light and reflect the remaining green light. This is because the green object absorbs light of complementary colors, in this case blue, and reflects light of its own color, green.


What colour will a green object be if only blue light was shone on it?

Black, because the blue light would be absorbed into the object's pigment and as there is no green light to reflect, the object would appear black.


Does an object appears blue is it reflects all wavelengths of light except blue?

If it didn't reflect blue, then there wouldn't be any blue light from it to enter your eye,and you wouldn't see any blue.If the object looks blue, then you know two things:1). There was some blue light hitting the object.2). The blue light hitting the object wasn't all absorbed. At leastsome of it was reflected from the object, toward your eye.
