If an object appears to be red, it is because red light is transmitted all wavelengths of visible light except red are absorbed red light Is absorbed all wavelengths of visible light are reflected and red Is dominant so it shows up the most

When sunlight is scattered by air molecules, the intensity of scattered light for a wavelength of $550 \mathrm{nm}$ is (a) The greater than another color by a factor of 5.0 . wavelength of the other color is (1) longer, (2) the same as, or (3) shorter than $550 \mathrm{nm}$. Explain. (b) What is the wavelength of the other color?
The rainbow of visible colors in the electromagnetic spectrum varies continuously from the longest wavelengths (the reddest colors) to the shortest wavelengths (the deepest violet colors) our eyes can detect. Wavelengths near 655 nm are perceived as red. Those near 515 nm are green and those near 475 nm are blue. Calculate the frequency of light with a wavelength of (a) 655 nm, (b) 515 nm, and (c) 475 nm.
