The colour of vision is the respons

The colour of vision is the response that occurs when certain wavelengths of radiation stimulate the sensory functions of the eye, producing sensations in the human brain. White light contains wavelengths of various colors, and when it passes through a prism it breaks down into components that look like a rainbow spectrum. When a surface of an object is illuminated by light, it reflects a light of some wavelengths, or 'colors' as they are called, determined by the nature of the surface material, and absorbs other wavelengths. For example, Fuchsia colors may be reflected off the surface to produce red-sensitive light and absorb light in all but red. If it appears white, it reflects all the light waves and doesn't absorb them at all. Black, on the other hand, absorbs all the light waves and does not reflect at all. All pigments and dyes reflect a certain amount of white light when they reflect a portion of the spectrum corresponding to the color of their surface.
