Question 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)

Answer 1

Different colors of light interact with red tape depending on their wavelengths. Red light is transmitted and reflected by the tape, making it appear red to the eye, while other colors, such as blue or green, are absorbed, resulting in their absence in the tape’s perceived color.
