Question

Red tape can be used to repair a broken taillight on a car. Explain in one or two sentences how different colors of light are transmitted, reflected, and absorbed by this kind of tape.
two sentences preferred, and write it in a 7th grade level.

Answer 1

Red tape lets red wavelengths pass through and reflects some red back while absorbing most other colors like blue and green. So when a white taillight shines through the tape, the non-red light is absorbed and mostly red light comes out, making the light look red.
