Question
- which statement explains why a blue house looks blue? (1 point)
the house reflects mostly blue light
the house absorbs mostly blue light
the house reflects every color except blue
the house reflects mostly red and green light
Objects appear a certain color because they reflect that color of light. A blue house looks blue because it reflects mostly blue light. When white light (which contains all colors of the visible spectrum) hits the house, the materials of the house absorb most of the colors (other than blue) and reflect the blue light. This reflected blue light then reaches our eyes, and we perceive the house as blue.
