Question 32

Why does a piece of paper appear white in sunlight? How would you expect it to appear when viewed in red light?

Answer

A piece of paper appears white in sunlight because it reflects light of all the colours. When the paper is viewed in red light it appears red colour because it reflects the red light falling on it.
