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)

Red tape primarily reflects red wavelengths of light while absorbing other colors. This means that when light hits the tape, the red wavelengths are transmitted back to the observer, while other colors, such as blue and green, are absorbed by the tape itself.
