Hi,
I'm confused about what should really be a simple explanation. What is colour? I've been told that it is because different materials absorb and reflect different colours of light (i.e. different wavelengths between 380 and 740 nm, the spectrum of visible light), but what gives a material this property to absorb and reflect light? In terms of the particles, why is this the case?
Thanks
