Explain the formation of color in terms of reflection and absorption of light waves.

Every object has a different density and therefore carries different properties. When rays of white light strike an object, each ray light strikes the object with different frequency and therefore is absorbed and reflected differently from the host object.

In case if all the frequencies are absorbed by the object, it turns out to be black in color. Whereas on the other hand, if it is a mix of absorption and reflection, it makes different colors based on its frequencies and other properties of the object.
