An object absorbs red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and violet light. What color is it?(1 point)
Responses
a) indigo
b) blue
c) red
d) green
The object would appear black as it absorbs all the colors of light.
indigo is the only choice that absorbs multiple colors
To determine the color of an object, we look at the color of light it reflects or transmits. The given object absorbs red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and violet light. This means it does not reflect or transmit any of these colors.
Since green light is not mentioned as being absorbed, it can be inferred that the object reflects or transmits green light. Therefore, the color of the object is (d) green.
To determine the color of an object that absorbs certain wavelengths of light, we need to understand the concept of subtractive color mixing. When light shines on an object, the object either absorbs some of the wavelengths or reflects them.
In this scenario, the object absorbs red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and violet light. These colors make up the visible spectrum of light. The colors that are absorbed are subtracted from the white light, leaving only the colors that are not absorbed.
Out of the given options, the only color that is not absorbed by the object is green (which is not mentioned in the list of absorbed colors). Therefore, the color of the object in question would be green.
So, the correct answer is d) green.
