Why Do We See Color? | Light, Reflection, and the Human Eye
Why does a red object look red?
White light contains many wavelengths. When light reaches an object, some wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected. The reflected light reaches our eyes—and that helps determine the color we see.
This short animation shows the basic journey from white light → visible spectrum → reflection → human vision.
