Question

which statement best describes the visible color of an object?
a. the component of light absorbed by that object
b. the component of light reflected by that object
c. the total amount of light shining on that object

Explanation:

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 absorbs most colors of light but reflects red light. So the visible color of an object is related to the reflected light component.

Answer:

B. the component of light reflected by that object
