Reflection Refraction and Wavelength

If you see the color orange, this means:

• The colors red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet have been absorbed and orange has been refracted.

• The colors red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet have been absorbed and orange has been reflected.

• The color orange has been absorbed and red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are refracted.

• The color orange has been absorbed and red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are reflected.

A student placed a pencil in a cup of water.  The pencil appears broken because light-

• always travels in a straight line

• bends when it passes through water

• makes the water in the glass evaporate

• reflects the pencil on the water's surface
