Why are only certain colors of light absorbed by and emitted from an atom?

Because the electrons of the atom are in specific energy levels. Therefore the emission of light is dependent upon the energy levels of the atom.

Which colors of light do you see when you look at an opaque object?
All the colors that are NOT absorbed by the object.
Do dark colors attract more light than light colors?
The don't exactly "attract" the light; rather, if light falls on them, a larger percentage of the light will be absorbed.
What happens when light shines on a blue object?
Blue light is reflected, other colors are absorbed.
What happens to white light when you are looking at a red strawberry?
White is not a color, it is all the colors. So when you look at something red, all colors but red are being absorbed and red is reflected. If it was black, then all colors would be absorbed. If it's white, then no colors are being absorbed..
When light waves strike a red object what happens to the light waves of all colors except red?
Basically three things can happen to light as it strikes an object. It can be reflected, absorbed, or it can pass through. For simplicity, assume the object is not transparent; in that case, any light that is not reflected is absorbed.
Which is the result of visible light absorbed by a metal?
light at a frequency similar to the absorbed frequency is emitted
What colors are absorbed by green?
white light colors?
What happens when pigments are mixed?
Fewer colors of light are reflected and more aare absorbed
When absorbed light energy is released by matter it is called what?
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
What is the heat capacity of dark colors vs light colors?
The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.
If a white light shines on a red shirt what colors are reflected and what colors are absorbed?
Red
Which colors of light do you see when you look at an opaque object?
All the colors that are NOT absorbed by the object.
What happens when the colors of the rainbow mix?
The mixing primary colors of pigment is when they are added together, fewer colors of light are reflected and were absorbed, but the mixing primary colors of light is when two of the same amounts of light combined together to form a color of white. If they are not at the same amount of light, then the colors it formed will be the secondary colors.

What happens when pigment reflects red light?
All of the colors are absorbed.
What colors of visible light absorbed by the red apple?
