When we see an apple as being red....explain why we see the red coloring of the apple. Why does it appear red?
Just absorbs red light
We don't see the red light absorbed and reflects the red light
Only reflects red light
We see the red because it is what is absorbed and reflecting the light

white- because it reflects all the colors through light
both reflect light
