Anna studies the color of her bedroom wall using different lights. In sunlight, she sees that the wall is white. Anna darkens the room and shines a beam of light that includes all the wavelengths of visible light onto the wall. In this light, what's the wall color that Anna sees?

Answer:

White

Step-by-step explanation:

The light is measured by its wavelength, generally in nanometers (nm), and visible light has a wavelength spectrum of 400 to 700 nm. Sunlight can be divided into three components: 1-visible light, 2-ultraviolet (UV) light, and 3-infrared radiation. Since white light is visible light (this color contains all the colors of the rainbow) and sunlight includes the visible light of all wavelengths, the object will look white under this light spectrum.
