• The colors are changed by addition.

• This is an example of color by subtraction.

• Different colored light has different wavelengths.

• The side part of a prism only let certain colors of light pass through.

How is the color of a translucent object determined?

• By the color(s)/wavelength(s) that are refracted.

• By the color(s)/wavelength(s) that are reflected.

• By the color(s)/wavelength(s) that are transmitted.

• By the color(s)/wavelength(s) that are absorbed.
