As you can see, everything that is visible allow certain wavelength to get pass, but the ones that doesnt go throug give to that matter the color of the rejected wavelength.

For Example, a Sticky yellow note, that rejects Yellow wavelength

Which Colour is reflected when light is shone on blue surface?

A blue surface reflects blue light. This is because it absorbs most other colors of light in the visible spectrum and reflects only blue light back to our eyes.


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.


Why do objects have different colors?

The color of an object has to do with the waves of (visible) light that it reflects. When light hits an object some is absorbed and some reflects, e.g. white is white because all the colours are reflected back; black is black because none of the colours are reflected, red is red because only red reflects from the object. Plants are green because the chlorophyll reflects the colour green, making them appear green to us.

Why does black absorb sunlight?

Black absorbs sunlight because it contains pigments that absorb a wide range of wavelengths of light, including those in the visible and near-infrared spectrum. This absorbed light energy is then converted into heat, which raises the temperature of the black object.

What is visible to a person only because light from another source reflects it lightning or flashlight or cloud or sun?

An object is visible to a person only when light from another source reflects off of it. This light can come from artificial sources like lightning or flashlights, or natural sources like the sun or reflected light from the clouds.


What is the best color for exterior painting in summer?

Off white, because this is the only colour that reflects all light and absorbs no rays in visible spectrum.


Does the moon reflects the light of the sun?

yes, the moon does reflect the light from the sun because other wise we wouldn't be able to see it at night because its only just a giant rock realy


Does Jupiter reflect or emit light?

ANSWER: It reflects light. The sun is the only body in the solar system to emit light.

What color absorbs heat poorly?

Usually the darker colors because they absorb the most light, reflecting only a small portion of what they receive. The lighter colors absorb the least and reflect larger portions of the received light.


What material do not scatter light?

not material, but color. the color black absorbs all colors in light and reflects no light to enter your eyes. black is only visible by contrast on other things you can see.
