When light hits an object, that object absorbs some light, and reflects other light.  A blue recycle bin absorbs red and green light, but reflects blue light.  The blue light then hits your retina at the back of your eye and a signal is sent to the visual cortex of your brain.  Your brain then perceives this signal as <em>colour.</em>

When we add or remove energy from a substance, what kind of changes can we observe? Can they happen at the same time ?
const2013 [10]

Answer:

When you add energy to a substance?

One change of state happens when you add energy to the substance. This change of state is called melting. By adding energy to the molecules in a solid the molecules begin to move quicker and can break away from the other molecules. The temperature at which a substance goes from a solid to a liquid is it melting point.

When you remove energy from a substance?

When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. Therefore, its particles move faster and its temperature rises. When a substance is cooled, it loses thermal energy, which causes its particles to move more slowly and its temperature to drop.

Explanation:

The addition of energy increases the kinetic energy of the particles, which reduces the intermolecular forces between the particles. Freezing occurs when a liquid becomes a solid and energy is released.

Atoms lose energy when they change from solid to liquid or gas and quid to gas.
