Ahh colors. How fun right? .....no. lol. I mean it's cool but I always get confused. I have three main questions, if you have any insight, thoughts, or simply want to bond over how confusing light and optics can join on in! haha
1. So we know that color is essentially whatever color it does not absorb. So my shirt is red because it does not absorb red. But what about blue? I've run into a few questions where books use this interchangeably, so although a blue object does not absorb blue, does it still absorb violet? And when we talking about absorbing or reflecting colors, is this only the primary colors?
2. black versus white. I just don't understand which each reflects and absorbs
3. How does absorbing and reflecting colors relate to heat and temp? In the EK book there was a question about why astronauts where white suits instead of black, and this is completely and utterly beyond me lol
