Final answer:
The question contains misconceptions about how colors are perceived. A yellow surface reflects red and green light and will appear yellow, not blue; while a blue surface reflects blue light and will appear blue, not yellow.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question appears to be related to the physics of light and color perception, particularly to the concepts of color absorption and reflection as it pertains to a colored wheel. Let's clarify the specifics surrounding this topic:
Color Perception in Physics
When light hits an object, the object can absorb or reflect different wavelengths of light. The colors we perceive are determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected. For instance:
- A. The yellow section of the wheel will look blue because it will incorrectly absorb blue light and reflect red and green. However, this statement is incorrect as yellow reflects red and green light, which when mixed together form yellow, and absorbs blue.
- B. The blue section of the wheel will look yellow because it will absorb red and green light and reflect blue. This statement is also incorrect because when the blue section reflects blue light, it will look blue, not yellow.
The correct understanding should be that a yellow section reflects red and green, hence looks yellow, and a blue section reflects blue light, hence looks blue to the human eye.
