If white light falls on a piece of white paper in a dark room, the paper appears white to the eye. This is because the paper reflects all the colors of light that fall on it. What color would the paper appear to be if red light falls on it?

Answer:

It will appear red.

Step-by-step explanation:

When white light falls on a white paper in the dark room, paper appears white because it reflects all lights which fall on it. In the same way, when red light falls on that white paper, it will reflect that red light and will appear red to our eyes.
