1)black

2)white

3)green

4)whatever color is created by the mixture of orange, indigo, violet, yellow, red, and blue light

Answer 1

4 whatever color is created by mixture of orange

Answer 2

Green

Step-by-step explanation:

The white light has 7 colors such as violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. This is designated as VIBGYOR. Every object has some light-absorbing capacity. We can see colors when a particular color gets reflected by the objects. For example, in leaves, the green lights are reflected, so it looks green. The absorbed light is transferred into another form of energy i.e. heat energy. The reflected color gives the object its color that we see. If all the colors will absorb, it gives black color. If the piece of paper absorbs all the colors except green, the color of the paper is green. Because green light is reflected while others get to absorb.
