What processes produce the difference colors we see in opaque objects?

∙ 9y ago
Different materials absorb different wavelengths of visible radiation from sources like the sun or light bulbs. The wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected as visible radiation, and the color we see depends on the wavelength of that reflected light, with a longer wavelength correlating to more reddish colors, and shorter wavelengths with more bluish colors.
White objects reflect all of the visible radiation that strike them, which is why they absorb less heat than black objects, which reflect much less visible radiation.

How does light rays behave to produce different colors using different objects?
White light is a mixture of different colors. A red object (for example) would reflect a greater percentage of red light, and a lesser percentage of other colors, thus making the light that you see redder.
What objects are made up of all the colors of the rainbow?
Every thing. some objects reflect some colors(the colors that we see) and absorb all others(the ones we don't see). the colors that are reflected and blend to make all the different colors.
What colors do white objects absorb?
White is the resultant of all colors being reflected. White objects of course absorb some light but due reflect all the colors of the rainbow as we see them.
What do chromatophores produce?
they can produce colors by the reflection after absorption of light.
Why are things certain colours?
The color of an object is determined by the color/s that it reflects. All other colors are absorbed. White objects reflect all colors, and black objects do not reflect any colors.
What chemical processes naturally change somethings colors?
Bleach
What colors on the color spectrum combine to produce gray?
