multiple - choice question
the color of an object is the color of the light it ____________.
reflects
absorbs
filters through the prism of our atmosphere
When light hits an object, the object absorbs some wavelengths of light and reflects others. The color we perceive is the color of the light that is reflected. For example, a red apple reflects red light and absorbs other colors. Absorbed light does not contribute to the perceived color. The option about filtering through the atmosphere's prism is not relevant to an object's color based on its interaction with light.
