Which of the following is true when an object absorbs light?

The wavelength of light absorbed is not reflected or passed through the object

The wavelength of light absorbed is reflected

The wavelength of light absorbed is passed through the object

The wavelength of light absorbed is both reflected and passed through the object

Why do we see green when we look at a lime?

Green light is reflected and all other colors absorbed, making the lime look green

Green light is absorbed making the lime look green

The index of refraction for a lime creates a green wavelength when the light changes medium from air to lime

Green light is emitted from a lime as a result of photosynthesis

Why does the rainbow form when white light goes through the prism?

The different wavelengths of light that make up white bend in slightly different ways causing the rainbow to form

Imperfections in the prism cause the white light to glow in different ways

Different colors of light inside the prism are activated when white light hits them

What causes us to see objects as a certain color?

Our eyes detect the color of an object by the wavelengths of light it REFLECTS

Ours eyes detect the color of an object by the wavelengths of light it ABSORBS

Our eyes detect the color of an object by the wavelengths of light it DIFFRACTS

Our eyes detect the color of an object by the wavelengths of light it R

You pick up a nice yellow banana for breakfast. What do you know about the wavelengths of light being ABSORBED and REFLECTED by the banana?

The banana is REFLECTING yellow light and ABSORBING all other colors

The banana is ABSORBING yellow light and REFLECTING all other colors

The banana is ABSORBING all colors

The banana is REFLECTING all colors
