Red tape can be used to repair a broken taillight on a car. In one or two sentences, explain how different colors of light are transmitted, reflected, and absorbed by this kind of tape.(2 points)

Write the correct answer in 7th grader words and shortly

Answer 1

Red tape allows red light to pass through and be seen (transmitted), while it absorbs other colors like blue and green and reflects some light, which means they bounce off the tape without being seen. This is why the tape looks red to our eyes.
