-
Blue is absorbed, green is reflected
-
Orange is reflected, blue is reflected, indigo is absorbed
-
Blue is reflected, all the other colors are absorbed
-
All the colors are reflected except blue which is absorbed
Correct Answer
A. Blue is reflected, all the other colors are absorbedExplanation
When light falls on an object, it is reflected and absorbed by the object. The color we observe is the color of light that is reflected, while the rest of the spectrum is absorbed. In this case, since the car is blue, it means that blue light is being reflected by the car, while all the other colors of light are being absorbed. Therefore, the correct statement is "blue is reflected, all the other colors are absorbed."Rate this question:
