Does the color yellow absorb light?
No, yellow reflects light instead of absorbing it. Yellow objects appear yellow because they reflect yellow light wavelengths and absorb other colors.
Which of these are the pigments that absorb blue-violet and blue-green light and reflect red orange and yellow light?
Carotenoids are pigments that absorb blue-violet and blue-green light and reflect red, orange, and yellow light. They are responsible for the red, orange, and yellow colors seen in many fruits and vegetables.
What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?
Black surfaces absorb most of the light that strikes them, reflecting very little. White surfaces reflect most of the light that strikes them, absorbing very little. This is why black surfaces appear darker and white surfaces appear brighter when illuminated.
What wavelength light does blue absorb?
Blue objects absorb wavelengths of light that correspond to other colors on the spectrum, typically orange or yellow. This means blue objects appear blue because they reflect blue light and absorb light of other colors.
Discuss How reflection from objects that appear blue differs from objects that appear yellow?
Objects that appear blue absorb longer wavelengths of light and reflect shorter, blue wavelengths. This is due to the molecular structure of the object, which selectively absorbs and reflects light. In contrast, objects that appear yellow absorb shorter, blue wavelengths and reflect longer, yellow wavelengths, resulting in the perception of the color yellow.
