Three students are arguing about the reason that an apple appears red. Student A claims that it is because an apple absorbs the
color red and reflects all other colors away from it. Student B claims that it is because an apple absorbs every other color of light and only reflects red light away from Student C argues that the apple gives off its own rays of red light. With which student do you agree and why?
Objects appear different colours because they absorb some colours (wavelengths) and reflected or transmit other colours. ... For example, a red shirt looks red because the dye molecules in the fabric have absorbed the wavelengths of light from the violet/blue end of the spectrum.
