An orange looks orange because?

Question

An orange looks orange because?

Answer 1

Because it only reflects a mixtures of colours that make orange into your eyes.

Answer 2

The light striking the orange is of course sun-light (almost pure white, containing all the frequencies). The small range of frequencies of the light that it reflects is the value which our eyes and brains recognise as imparting an orange color to the viewed object. Due its molecular structure the other frequencies are absorbed by the skin of the orange.

But if the orange were unripe it would look green and if a ripe orange were exposed only to green light it would look green too because not all of the green ligh would be absorbed.

Answer 3

because the light that it reflects to the eye looks orange.  Other light is absorbed.

Answer 4

An orange looks orange because the skin of the orange contains pigments that absorb all other colors except orange wave lengths of light.

Light, is a collection of many different wavelengths of light, red to blue, so the pigments absorb every wavelength except orange and the only one left, which reflects into your eye, which you see, is orange.

Answer 5

because light is wave and orange wave length is particular

this wave lengths effect on our eyes different from another wave lengths so we can recognize it
