The physical properites of the object ARE the arrangement of the atoms of the object.
It's NOT what is in the photons. Thanks for agreeing with me, and proving yourself wrong.
"Color, in this case, refers to the different wavelengths of light in the visible light spectrum perceived by our eyes. The physical and chemical composition of matter determines which wavelength (or color) is reflected." https://science.nasa.gov/ems/03_behaviors/
"Do all photons have the same frequency?
It is fundamentally impossible for a photon to have exactly one frequency. Certain beams of light, such as laser beams, can get very close to having one frequency, but can never have exactly one frequency. Said another way, every physical beam of light has a spread of frequencies".
I didn't make your point, FYI I know all this.
Color is not in atoms at all, it is in light. I know the arrangement of the molecular structure(chemical composition) determines what gets absorbed and what gets bounced back.
I don't think we are on different wavelengths here. <---- See what I did there?
Quote:"No it is not. Atoms have no color, and molecules are made of atoms. It is the arrangement of the atoms that determines what gets absorbed and what bounces back to your eye and what bounces back to your eye is what we perceive as color.
So which is it, (according to you) ?
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
