Question

Compare White light passes through agreen pane of glass and shines on awhite shirt. Compare the colors of lightthat are absorbed, reflected, and trans-mitted by the glass and by the shirt.

Answer 1

Remember that white light is composed of all wavelengths of visible light.

If white light passes through a green filter, the glass will absorb all the colors but green light will be able to pass through it.

The white shirt reflects all the wavelengths, but if only green light reaches it, then it will appear to be green.
