What is false about color perception?a) Reflecting wavelength determines the color of an object.b) Chromatic colors reflect some wavelengths while not reflecting others.c) Achromatic colors don’t have wavelength selectivity.

Question
What is false about color perception?a) Reflecting wavelength determines the color of an object.b) Chromatic colors reflect some wavelengths while not reflecting others.c) Achromatic colors don’t have wavelength selectivity. The wavelengths are reflected equally.d) White does not reflect any light.e) Black absorbs most wavelengths of visible light
Solution
The false statement about color perception is d) White does not reflect any light. In fact, white reflects all wavelengths of light, which is why we perceive it as white.

The sentences given in this question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper order for the sentences and write this sequence as your answer.1. There are many more spectra than colour sensations; in fact, one may formally define a colour to be the class of all those spectra which give rise to the same colour sensation.2. The light’s spectrum records each wavelength’s intensity.3. Electromagnetic radiation is a mixture of radiation of different wavelengths and intensities.4. The full spectrum of the incoming radiation from an object determines the visual appearance of that object, including its perceived colour.5. When this radiation has a wavelength inside the human visibility range, that radiation is called light.
