Question

question 31
the color that we see when looking at a pigmented object is ______________.
o the wavelengths that are absorbed by the pigmented object
the wavelengths that the pigmented object created after being hit with sunlight
the wavelengths that are excited by excess energy
o none of these choices

Explanation:

When we look at a pigmented object, the color we see is due to the wavelengths of light that are reflected by the object, not the ones absorbed (eliminating the first option). Pigmented objects do not create wavelengths (eliminating the second option). Excitation by excess energy is more related to phenomena like fluorescence in some substances but not the general case of seeing color in pigmented objects (eliminating the third option).

Answer:

none of these choices
