It requires light to give us color.  Now throw a white cat into a completley dark room. What color is it?

The cat or the room?\nLight does not give us color. Our color was predetermined by our DNA. The light just potentiates or enhances what already is.

black is the absense of light\n\nwhite is the combination of all colors

my cat  went to jump off the roof  of the house  and his back paw  got stuck on a piece of wood. He was hanging up side down and looking at me  in side my computer  room. IT was the funniest  pic  i Ever  took.  Funny  thing about that,  my camera  was  right  next to me.

What colour will what be?\n\nLight is additive: red light plus green light will yield whitish light.  The blue object will still look blue.\n\nIf you mean that the light passes through the blue object onto the screen, all non-blue light will be filtered out, so the spot on the screen will look blue.

the riddle really goes like this: There are 3 lights and 3 light switches. The lights are in a room and the switches are in the basement. How do I see what switch goes to what bulb with only one trip up and down the stairs? \n\nAnswer: turn on switch 1 for 20 minutes and turn it off, turn on light 2 for 5 minutes and turn it off, turn on light 3 and leave it on. go upstairs and feel the bulbs. the really hot one is the 1st switch, the warm one is the 2nd switch. and the one that is on is the 3rd switch

light (or sunlight)\n\nlight makes polar bears clear hair shafts appear white\nlight makes your eyes water\nlight first thing in the morning...guy gets out of bed to pee and girl combs her hair\nlight makes celebrities look stupid since it shed light on their antics\nlight makes normal people look like celebrities by putting them in the spotlight\npancakes brown, they are no longer light\nexpose champagne to light and it bubbles\nif you squeeze a lightbulb, it pops\ncan't figure last line but know that staring at sunlight is very bad for your eyes

cool cars and games... But don't u think the colour is a li'l too black.\n             \n              LET THERE BE LIGHT.

looks like your cat typed the question!

Yikes, I'll try, but it's tricky even for me!  And I've read a lot about it because it fascinates me!\n\nOK, the idea is that you have a cat in a box.  The cat is not visible to you, the experimenter.  In this box is a small amount of radioactive material and a geiger counter.  If one atom decays even the tiniest amount and the geiger counter catches this, a tiny flask of poison is broken and the cat is killed.  The "weird" part (hah) comes in here.  Whether or not the atom decays is strictly a probability issue.  However, using quantum mechanics, the cat would neither be alive nor dead until someone opened up the box to give it a "label" - to observe it and quantify it as alive or dead.  It would exist in a state of "alive/dead"ness, sort of.  \n\nSchrodinger used this as a way of pointing out that sometimes quantum mechanics just doesn't work for a given situation.

Hehehe....that was cute...\n\nI'll be turning on the light tonight...

White light is actually made of all the colors of the "visible spectrum", which ranges from red to violet. A prism or a rainbow shows these colors by sorting light according to wavelength.\n\nLight passing through a completely transparent medium, like a pane of glass, will not show much difference.\n\nLight passing through a colored medium will allow mostly light of the color's wavelength to pass through, so you see that color.\n\nLight reflected off an object shows a color if the object reflects light of that frequency (wavelength).\n\nThe colors have to be there first. Color is not "acquired" by light.

Is fish red by light? Pleeez help me, so inpotant!!!\nHow's that?

if light is thr then where is dark?

Well my girlfriend told me about 2 days ago that if you put butter on your cats feet when you move house that it will be able to find its way home.\n\nI havent been able to catch the cat yet to try it.

Most likely it was a reflection of passing car lights.  The light could have reflected off something outside and into your room.  If there was anyone else in the house it could have been a practical joke.

I made one in 11th grade that filled a cat dish with food....in fact, I eventually rigged it so my cat could rub into the lever that would set the whole thing in motion.\n\nOther ideas:\n- ring a door bell\n- drop a new pencil on a table\n- turn off a light switch\n- fill a glass with a bottle of water

Black is not a color. Black is simply the absence of light - what you get when you turn out the light in a room. When you turn off the light switch you don't say, "Look Ma, my room is suddenly painted black." Let me repeat, black is the absence of light, not a color of light.Therefore no light bulb could produce black light. The things that are sold in stores as "black" lights really produce ultraviolet light. Let's switch gears for a second. Imagine you had a piano, but instead of having only 88 keys like a normal piano, it had an infinite number- in other words, it went on forever in each direction. Say you started at middle C and started playing lower and lower keys, toward the left side. Each key to the left causes the corresponding string to vibrate more slowly. Eventually we will come to a key whose string vibrates so slowly that we can't hear the sound. Not because it isn't loud enough but because our ears are not equipped to hear sounds of such low frequency (vibration rates.) For the human this is about 20 vibrations per second. The same applies if we go to the right. The upper limit for humans is about 20,000 vibrations per second. If we hit keys further to the right we would hear nothing. Some animals, dogs for instance, can hear higher frequencies. Now, apply this to light. We can see the results of light frequencies only within a given range. This range is called the visible light spectrum. Think of it as your normal 88 key piano with the key on the far left being labeled red and the one on the far right being labelled violet. Remember Roy G. Biv ? If we go below red, the light is still there but we can't see it because our eyes are not equipped to do so. This invisible light is called infra-red which means below red. Now, to finally get to your question, if we go to the right, higher "keys" than violet produce light that we can't see - not because it isn't there but because our eyes are not equipped to deal with higher frequencies. This light is called ultra-violet meaning above violet. Since to us it isn't there because we can't see it - because to humans it is "absent", or not there, ultra-violet light is sometimes called black light although this name is not really correct. To tie up a few loose ends, most "black" lights in normal price ranges like those you buy at Spencer's, produce a wide range of the spectrum including violet. So you can see them. They do produce some ultra-violet light though and it is the U.V. that causes certain objects to fluoresce (glow.)  Also, just like some animals can hear sounds of higher frequencies than humans some animals, bees for instance, can see ultraviolet light and this ability of bees helps guide them to the source of nectar.
