  5. Seeing How do we see a non-luminous object, such as a book? Light from the luminous object hits the non-luminous object, reflecting light into our eye

  6. Colour How do we see different colours? Why does a red dress look red? Why does a green apple look green? • Colours are made by mixing other colours of light • Coloured objects reflect some colours and absorb others

  7. Absorbing & Reflecting • Coloured objects reflect some colours and absorb others For example • A red dress absorbs all colours except red, which it reflects • A green apple absorbs all colours except green, which it reflects What about black and white? • Objects appear white if they can reflect all the colours of the spectrum • Objects appear black if they absorb all the colours of the spectrum

  8. Colours The three primary colours of light are: red, green, and blue yellow green red magenta cyan blue Secondary colours may be made by mixing two primary colours together – these are: magenta, yellow, and cyan
