FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Explain how we see colour
Back
When light hits an object, the object absorbs some wavelengths and reflects others. The reflected light is what we see.
For example, a red apple absorbs all colors except red—red is reflected, so our eyes see it as red.
So, color is basically the light that isn't absorbed by the object.
