Light reflects off of surfaces. It is also absorbed by opaque materials and transmitted through transparent objects. Consider this diagram of two sheets of construction paper. Elaborate on the behavior of the incident light waves.
A) White paper reflects the incoming waves, while black absorbs the incoming waves.
B) White paper reflects some of the incoming waves, while black absorbs all of the incoming waves.
C) The white paper absorbs and transmits light waves, while the black paper absorbs all light waves.
D) Some of the light waves incident on the white paper are reflected and some are absorbed. None of the light waves are reflected from the black paper.
