Question

color is a result of the absorption and reflection of light. a shirt appears a color because it reflects that color of light. a shirt appears black when it absorbs all wavelengths of light. why does a shirt appear white outside on a sunny day? the light is transmitted through the shirt, so no color appears. the shirt absorbs the sunlight, so it appears white. all the light is reflected, so the shirt appears white. the sunlight refracts when it hits the shirt, so the shirt appears white.

Explanation:

Based on the principle that color is due to light absorption and reflection. A white - appearing object reflects all wavelengths of light. Transmitted light (first option) would make the shirt transparent. Absorbing sunlight (second option) would make it black. Refraction (fourth option) is about bending light, not color appearance. So the correct reason is that all light is reflected.

Answer:

All the light is reflected, so the shirt appears white.
