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.


What happens when light falls on a white objects?

We see colours because of white light (visible light) which is made up of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple light. We see colours when some fo these colours are absorbed into the object and the others are reflected. If an object is white that means all the light reflects off the object


What colour will a yellow object look in red light and why?

It will look red. White light is made up of a spectrum of many colours. The primary colours are red, green and blue. An object (in white light) appears yellow because it reflects red and green light but absorbs blue light. In red light, the same object will simply reflect the red light. Since there is no green light, the object will appear red. (A mixture of red and green gives yellow)


What gives an object its color?

light that is reflected is what our eyes see. light is made up of all the colours of the spectrum. each 'colour' has its own wavelength say for example a pear, which is green. we see green because the object has absorbed all the other 'colours' and has reflected only the green colour wavelength, which reaches our eye colour receptors and we see green


Which object helps people understand what makes up white light?

A triangular prism. It splits a beam of white light into its constituent colours.

What is the break up of white light into seven colours?

It is the refraction of white light being shone through a glass prism, or a raindrop, that separates the white light into the colours of the rainbow.

Why do you see white object?

Light is made up of all the colours in the spectrum (rainbow). We see white objects because the white is reflected off the object and into our eyes.


Is light white?

Light appears white, however it is made up of different colours, which when put together make white light. These colours can be seen if you direct light through a prism. At the right angle the light is split up into the colours (rainbow).

How do you obtain a spectrum by using a beam of energy waves?

In light you obtain a spectrum by passing the beam of white light through an object (a prism) which breaks the 'beam' up into it's constituent colours.


What colors of light made up white light?

Red, green and blue. These colours make up every other colour, though, so you could say that light is made up of all colours.


What device do scientists use to break white light into its colours?

They can use a kind of glass/cristal named Prisma

What is break up in Brazilian language?

To break up an object: partir, quebrar.To break up a relationship: terminar, separar.


What are primary colors of light?

This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.
