Praxis 5005 Practice Question
Which of the following best predicts what will happen when white light passes through a green object?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When white light passes through a green object, the object primarily reflects the green wavelengths while absorbing others. This reflection of green light is why we perceive the object as green.
Option B is incorrect because if the object absorbed the green part of the light, it would not appear green.
Option C is also wrong; an object appears black when it absorbs all visible light, which is not the case here.
Option D is misleading, as an object appears white when it reflects all colors of light, not just green. Thus, the green object reflects green light, making it visible to our eyes.
