I mean, what gives them their colour? I know why objects that emit light have different colours, but why do objects that don't emit light have colours?
Opaque objects have color because they absorb and reflect certain wavelengths of light. The color that we see is the result of the wavelengths that are reflected back to our eyes.
Different colors are produced when an object absorbs and reflects different wavelengths of light. The object's material and surface properties determine which wavelengths are absorbed and reflected, resulting in different colors.
Yes, an opaque object can change its color depending on the type of light that shines on it. For example, a red apple may appear darker in dim lighting and brighter in bright lighting, but it is still the same color.
No, the color of an opaque object can vary under different light sources. This is because different light sources emit different wavelengths of light, causing the object to reflect different colors.
Our eyes and brain work together to perceive color. When light reflects off an object and enters our eyes, specialized cells called cones detect the wavelengths and send signals to our brain. Our brain then interprets these signals as different colors.
