When light reflects off a surface, we perceive the color or colors that are reflected; other colors are absorbed by the material. Which TWO of the following statements are correct? Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by white light, other colors are absorbed and are therefore necessary for photosynthesis. If a yellow light illuminates a white book, the reflection will cause the red and green cones of an observer to be stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve. If both a red light and a green light illuminate a white book, the reflection will cause the blue cones of an observer to be stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve. Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by white light, the green…arrow_forward
