No colour is absorbed and all the colours get reflected. Hence it looks white.

But in case of black all colours get absorbed and so it looks black.

Is the sky blue because it is foggy?

no. the sky is blue because all wavelengths of its light is scattered except blue. the sun emits radiation and it is absorbed by every object. it has all the colors of the rainbow in them. if you are wearing a blue shirt, all wavelengths but blue are absorbed into the shirt and blue is reflected. if you are wearing a black shirt (this is why it makes you hot in the summer) all of the rays are absorbed into the shirt. if you are wearing a white shirt, none of the rays are absorbed; they are all reflected.

What happens to light rays that allow you to see colors?

When light hits a surface, some 'colors' are absorbed while others are reflected. The reflected colors are the ones you see. A red shirt absorbs all light except red which the red shirt reflects. A shirt that looks white reflects all light and absorbs none. A shirt that looks black absorbs all light and reflects none. this is why a white shirt will keep you cooler on a hot day.


Which colors are reflected by a white shirt?

Why does a white shirt appear white?

A white shirt appears white because it reflects all of the visible wavelengths of light, giving it a neutral color perception to our eyes. This means that the shirt is not absorbing any specific colors and is instead bouncing all colors back to our eyes, resulting in the sensation of white.


What color would a white shirt appear to be if light reflected from the shirt passed through a red filter and then through a green filter?

If light reflected from a white shirt passed through a red filter and then a green filter, the shirt would appear black. This is because red and green filters would absorb most of the colors from the white light, leaving very little to pass through. White light contains all colors of the spectrum, so when most of it is absorbed by the filters, the resulting color appears black.


A black shirt appears black because all colors are?

absorbed by the shirt's pigment, preventing any light from being reflected or transmitted. This lack of light reflection or transmission causes the shirt to appear black to our eyes.
