Dry Andy sends a Complete 20 volume set of world Booken cyclopedia to Kathy Harbin age 11, of Asheville n.c., for her question what gives color to objects most objects get their special colors from chemicals called pig ments. The pigment in a pin Rose is different from the pig ment in a Marigold. Texture and surface May modify colors rough Granite becomes More colourful when Given a shiny sur face. But without the help of Light our eyes would be unable to see any colors at All. Streams of sunlight fall on the objects around us and some of this Light bounces Back so thai our eyes can see it. Sunbeams of Ordinary White Light Are invisible while they travel to the Earth. But White Light is a blend of All the colors of the Rainbow. When sunbeams strike the various objects that bedeck our world they split apart. Our eyes see the separate strands of Light As the assorted colors of the Rainbow. When White Light strikes a Marigold All but the Orange rays of Light Are absorbed by the pig ments in the petals. The Orange is reflected Back and our eyes see this reflected Ray of Light As the color. The pigments in a Pink Rose reflect a Ray of Light which our eyes see As a Rosy color. All the other Rainbow col ors Are absorbed by the petals. A Lily absorbs none of the spectrum colors of the Rainbow. We see its Wax petals As White which is the colourless blend of White Light. A Lump of Coal absorbs All the colors of the spec Trum. It looks Black because no coloured rays Are reflected Back for our eyes to see. Pigments dyes and other chemicals play tricks on White Light and make it show its colors. This happens because Light is Radiant Energy pulsing along on different wave lengths. Each pulse of Energy is a Hill and Val Ley and the measure of a wave length is from one Hilly Crest to the next. Our eyes see the longest wave lengths As red. The shortest wave lengths Are the Blue rays at the opposite Side of the spectrum.
