Question

2) Light reflects off of surfaces. It is also absorbed by opaque materials

and transmitted through transparent objects. Consider this diagram of
tvo sheets of construction paper. Elaborate on the behavior of the
incident light waves
A)
White paper reflects the incoming waves, while black
absorbs the incoming waves.
White paper reflects some of the incoming waves,
while black absorbs all of the incoming waves.
B)
Q
The white paper absorbs and transmits light waves,
while the black paper absorbs all light waves.
Some of the light waves incident on the white paper
D) are reflected and some are absorbed. None of the
Light waves are reflected from the black paper.

Answer 1

Answer: B

White paper reflects some of the incoming waves,

while black absorbs all of the incoming waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Light is reflected off of white surfaces. Light is absorbed by opaque materials and transmitted through transparent objects.

In the case of a white paper, a white paper can be considered as a translucent material in which some of the light incident on it bounces off while some pass through it. Therefore, we can conclude that White paper reflects some of the incoming waves,

while black absorbs all of the incoming waves.
