Sunlight is a mix of all colors. Pigments in the object reflect different colors of light, which you see.

Does red absorb colors or color?

If you are asking what colors of the natural light spectrum are absorbed by the color red, then the answer would be every color except red. Any surface or object that you perceive as a certain color means that every color of sunlight is being absorbed by that surface except the color or colors that you can see. Sunlight is the combination of every conceivable or perceivable color; so in order to see an object as any one specific color means all of those other colors need to be 'stopped' or canceled out.


Why do you see color in an opaque object?

You see color in an opaque object because of the way light interacts with its surface. When light hits the object, certain wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected back to your eyes, which gives the object its color. This reflected light is what enables you to see the color of the opaque object.


What are the senses that color on an object?

The color of an object is determined by the color of light it reflects. As you maybe know, white light like sunlight is a mix of every possible color (of the rainbow spectrum). Roughly said from 400 to 700 nanometer. A red object will absorb every color of light, except for red light, which is reflected to our eyes. That's how we perceive the color of an object.


When you see the color of an object is all light being absorbed by that object except for the color being experienced?

Yes, when we see the color of an object, it means that all other colors of light are being absorbed by the object and only the specific color reflected is being experienced by our eyes. This reflected color is what we perceive as the color of the object.


What determines the color of an object we see?

The color of an object we see is determined by the wavelengths of light that the object reflects or emits. When light strikes an object, certain wavelengths are absorbed and others are reflected, which then enter our eyes and are interpreted by the brain as color.

Why is the object a color?

because sunlight contains different colours.when it is dark,we cant see anything therefore no colour can be seen.but,when sunlight is present,we can see evrything..get it?


Why do objects make a permanent color on paper from sunlight?

The object does not make a permanent color. The sunlight bleaches the paper around the object, making the paper lighter. When the object is removed, the area where it sat is darker - because it was not bleached by the sunlight.

When light hits an opaque object we see color that the object what?

The color we see is the result of the object absorbing certain wavelengths of light and reflecting others. The reflected light determines the color that reaches our eyes.


Is the color of an object appears to be is the color of light absorbs?

No, the color of an object is the color of light that it reflects, not the color it absorbs. When light shines on an object, the object absorbs some colors and reflects others. The reflected colors are what we see.


How do you see color objects?

you see coloured objects by the light. light makes the color of the object


If object is white in sunlight what color will it be in green light?

If an object is white in sunlight it will be green in green light. A white object reflects all wavelengths (colors) of light that shine on it. If only green light shines on it, that color will be reflected and the object will look green.


Why can color affect heating by absorption of light?

the darker the color, the more attraction to sunlight so the object heats up faster
