Different colors of light are transmitted, reflected, and absorbed differently by red tape. Red light, being the same color as the tape, is mainly transmitted through it as the tape allows the red wavelength to pass through. However, other colors of light such as blue or green are absorbed by the red tape, preventing them from passing through or being reflected. As a result, the red tape would not be able to effectively transmit or reflect these colors of light, leading to a distortion or absence of these colors when viewed through or reflected by the tape.
