Homework Statement
How to demonstrate that we see colour of an object due to reflection of light?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
We see an object because photons from that object come to our eyes.
The photons from the object comes to us due to radiation or reflection.
If the object is radiating, it will look glowing.
Other way to check radiation is to the object in the darkness and see whether it gives light. If it doesn't then we are sure that we see the object because of the reflection of the light.
If we see a particular color of the object, that means that the object is reflecting that particular color of light.
We see the moon,too, because of the reflection of light.
Then, why does it look luminous, as if it is radiating light?
Put the object in the darkness. We don't see the object in the darkness.
