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.
Not to long, but make sure it’s a bit detailed

Answer 1

Red tape transmits red light while reflecting other wavelengths in the visible spectrum; it absorbs colors such as blue and green, which causes them to be transformed into heat rather than being emitted. This selective absorption and reflection make the tape effective for signaling and safety purposes by allowing red light to pass through while minimizing visibility of other colors.
