for an object to appear green, what must the object do to green light waves?
a. bend them.
b. shift them.
c. reflect them.
d. absorb them.
Objects appear a certain color because they reflect that color of light. When white light (which contains all colors of the visible spectrum) hits an object, the object absorbs most of the colors and reflects the one we see. For a green - appearing object, it reflects green light waves. Bending light (refraction) is related to how light passes through a medium (e.g., a prism), shifting light (like in the Doppler effect) is about a change in frequency due to motion, and absorbing green light would make the object not appear green.
