Multiple Choice

The model shows white light striking some items of clothing. The arrows represent the colors within the visible region that the human eye would detect. What statement provides the best explanation for this phenomena?

The material from which the clothing is made absorbs some of the colors. We are able to see the colors reflected.

The material from which the clothing is made transmits some of the colors. We are able to see the colors absorbed.

White light does not interact with the clothing material. What we see is the random spreading of the electromagnetic waves through the material.

White light does not interact with the clothing material. What we see are the results from the electromagnetic waves traveling in circular paths.
