Question

The image shows a red light shining on two boxes. Box A appears to be black, and box B appears to be red. Which of the following statements is true?

Box A absorbs red light, and box B absorbs red light
Box A refracts red light, and box B reflects red light
Box A absorbs red light, and box B reflects red light
Box A diffracts red light, and box B absorbs red light

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

**Box A absorbs red light, and box B reflects red light.**

Here's the reasoning:

- Box A appears black under red light because it absorbs the red light rather than reflecting it.
- Box B appears red because it reflects the red light that is shining on it while absorbing other wavelengths of light.

Therefore, the true statement is that Box A absorbs red light while Box B reflects it.
