If light did not reflect off objects, we would not be able to see anything reflected back to our eyes. This would result in everything appearing pitch black or invisible. Additionally, without reflection, energy from light could not be absorbed by surfaces, leading to potential issues with energy transfer and heat distribution.

Would a black microscopically flat or smooth object reflect light?

A flat object would reflect light but it depends on what sort of flat object is it.


What color would a green object under red light?

It would be black becasue the object would absorb all the red light, and there would be no green light for it to reflect


What colour would a red object seem to look like if you only shined green light on it?

The object would be black, because red cannot reflect green light so no colour is reflected of the object.


What color object would reflect more light?

A white object would reflect more light compared to a black object. White objects reflect most of the wavelengths of visible light, making them appear brighter, while black objects absorb most of the light, appearing darker.


What objects reflect and absorb light?

Any object you can see reflects light. If it did not reflect any light it would be invisible. Similarly, no object is so reflective that it reflects all light. The proof that it absorbs light is that it increses in temperature as it is exposed to light.


What color would a red object appear to be if you shone only green light on it?

The red object would appear black because it would not reflect any of the green light shining on it. Green light is the complementary color of red, meaning the object would absorb all the green light and not reflect any color back to our eyes.


What colour would a red object look under a red light?

The red object would appear red under a red light because objects primarily reflect the color of light that is shining on them. Since red light contains mainly red wavelengths, the object would still reflect red light and appear red.


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.


What color will a red object appear under green light?

It would appear black because the object would not reflect any of the colors of light back.


What would a green object look like in a magenta light?

A pure green object would reflect the green third of the spectrum, and absorb the red and blue portions. Magenta light is composed of red and blue waves so they would be absorbed by the green object. Therefore, in theory, a green object would appear neutral, virtually black. But this assumes that all the colors are very pure and perfectly balanced. This is unlikely, so the object would most likely look near neutral with some color skewing one way or another.


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 will a white object appear if only red light was shone on it?

Red. The colour of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects and absorbs, and a white object is one that reflects light across the visible spectrum. If only red light shines on it, it will reflect that light. In contrast, a black object appears black because it doesn't reflect any visible wavelengths, so would still appear black. Any object that doesn't reflect the wavelength of light you're using (eg blue objects) would also appear black because it isn't reflecting any light.
