When a white lite strikes a green object only the green component is absorbed?

No. Actually ALL colours other than green are absorbed. So, for our common plants, the colours absorbed; to work the photosynthesis mechanism; are those towards the red end of the spectrum.

What happens to light when it hits a coloured object?
It can be either reflected or absorbed. E.g. if the object is green, all the colours of light are absorbed except green. Green is reflected and not absorbed.
A green object appears green because?
a. blue and yellow light are being reflected by the object.b. blue and yellow light are being absorbed by the object.c. green light is absorbed by the object.d. green light is reflected by the object.
What happens when white light strikes a red opaque object. What about blue light. red light. violet light?
When white light strikes a red object, the object would appear red. The object would have reflected the red light within the white light while all other colours would have been absorbed. When blue light strikes a red object, it would appear black as there is no red light in blue light as it is a primary colour. As a result, the blue light would be completely absorbed by the red object. So no light would be reflected from the object. When violet light strikes a red object, it would appear red, as violet is a combination of blue and red light. The blue light would be absorbed while the red light would be reflected. It is good to learn and revise the light spectrum and primary and secondary light colours. Primary light colours are: Red, Green and Blue Secondary light colours are: Yellow, Cyan and Violet The combinations are: Red + Green = Yellow Green + Blue = Cyan Blue + Red = Violet (or Magenta depending on how you have been taught)
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.
What happens when white light strikes a green opaque?
Some light in the green area of the visible spectrum is reflected back to the observer while light in the rest of the visible spectrum is mostly absorbed.
When white light strikes a green wall why do you see green?
When white light is made up of many colors. The reason you see green is because the green object reflects green light back to you and and all the other colors are absorbed by the object.

What happen when green light strikes a green wall?
the light perceives which is the one that is reflected, then most gets absorbed with whats rest of the light .
What color of light is not absorbed by plants?
green the pigments absorb every color in the light spectrum but green.

Leaves appear green because the green protion of the light that strikes them is what?
Reflected. The other colors of the light spectrum are absorbed. In fact, this is how all 'color' works - whatever the object. A red ball, a white shirt, etc. The color you see is the color being reflected back at your eyes, while the other colors are absorbed by the object.
When all light is reflected back all light is said to be?
White light. The colors that we see are actually the colors NOT absorbed by the object they strike: for example, if the sun's light strikes a pink triangle, it is because the triangle absorbs all the frequencies of light EXCEPT for the color pink. If the only color we see is green reflected off a car, then all wavelengths of color are absorbed except for green.
What happens when white light strikes a green opaque?
Some light in the green area of the visible spectrum is reflected back to the observer while light in the rest of the visible spectrum is mostly absorbed.
Why does a white object look white in white light?
The object has absorbed light in the whole visible spectrum. For example, an object appearing blue in the white light has absorbed red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet; but the blue light is reflected to your eyes. ==========================================
