Answer 1

Given that the students are asked to use the RGB model of light and color to explain what happens when an observer sees yellow banana being illuminated by a white light.

Let's determine the student(s) with the correct statement.

A yellow object/filter is said to block blue light and emit only red light and green light. The banana will look yellow because the red ang green light mix to produce a yellow light.

Since the banana has a yellow color and is illuminated by a white light which consists of red, green and blue colors, the banana(yellow) will absorb the blue light and emit the green and red light

Therefore, from the given statements, the correct statement is:

Stacey is correct about what light falls on the banana and what light is absorbed, Casey is correct about what light comes from the banana.

ANSWER:

Stacey is correct about what light falls on the banana and what light is absorbed, Casey is correct about what light comes from the banana.
