How do Electromagnetic waves interact with the red and white stripes of an American flag?

answered
Electromagnetic waves, including visible light, interact with the red and white stripes of an American flag in several ways.
1. When electromagnetic waves, specifically visible light, strike the red stripes of the flag, the color red absorbs most of the light within the visible spectrum while reflecting red light. This is why the red stripes appear red to our eyes.
2. The white stripes of the flag are reflective, meaning they reflect most of the visible light that strikes them. This is why the white stripes appear white to our eyes, as they are reflecting all colors of the visible spectrum equally.
3. The interaction of electromagnetic waves with the red and white stripes of the flag also depends on the angle of incidence, the material properties of the fabric of the flag, and the direction of the light source. For example, the color and appearance of the stripes may change depending on the angle at which the light is hitting the flag.
Overall, the red and white stripes of an American flag interact with electromagnetic waves in a way that allows us to see the iconic red and white colors of the flag when light is shone upon it.
