What is color Why do some objects look red, others green,
still others blue Color is caused by (11)
light rays. We see color because objects reflect light. Something that
is red reflects (12) red light. It reflects a little green or
blue light, too, but we do not see it. In the same way, a green object reflects
mostly green light. White objects reflect (13) of light.
Black objects do not reflect any light. What happens to the
colors of light that are not reflected They are absorbed by the object. The
(14) the color, the less light is reflected and the more light
is absorbed. Light that is absorbed is (15) heat. For this
reason, dark-colored clothes are warmer in the sunlight than lighter-colored
clothes.
