Light Interaction with Colored Objects

The video tutorial explains how light interacts with objects, leading to reflection, absorption, or transmission. It categorizes objects as transparent, translucent, or opaque based on their light transmission properties. The color of an object is determined by the light it reflects or transmits. Experiments with red and green lasers on gummy bears demonstrate these concepts, showing how different colors of light interact with objects of varying transparency. The tutorial encourages predictions and explanations to deepen understanding of light behavior.

What happens when light hits an object?

• It can only be reflected.

• It can only be transmitted.

• It can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted.

• It can only be absorbed.

What type of object allows most light to pass through?

• Reflective

• Transparent

• Translucent

• Opaque

How is the color of an opaque object determined?

• By the light it refracts

• By the light it transmits

• By the light it reflects

• By the light it absorbs

What color light does a red gummy bear transmit?

• Green

• Blue

• Yellow

• Red

What happens when a red laser hits a red gummy bear?

• The red light is scattered.

• The red light passes through.

• The red light is reflected.

• The red light is absorbed.

Why does red light not pass through a green gummy bear?

• Because it refracts red light.

• Because it reflects red light.

• Because it absorbs red light.

• Because it transmits red light.

What would happen if green light hits a green gummy bear?

• The green light is reflected.

• The green light is absorbed.

• The green light is scattered.

• The green light passes through.

What happens when green light hits a red gummy bear?

• The green light is absorbed.

• The green light is scattered.

• The green light is reflected.

• The green light passes through.

How do we perceive the color of transparent objects?

• By the light they refract

• By the light they transmit

• By the light they reflect

• By the light they absorb

What determines whether an object is transparent, translucent, or opaque?

• The shape of the object

• The material of the object

• The way light interacts with it

• The size of the object
