Passage 1:

Light is made up of electromagnetic waves. These vary in length and it is differences that we
perceive as different colours. White light has all the wavelength of the light spectrum mixed
up together. An object looks coloured because of light on it and it reflects only certain parts of
the spectrum. The rest of the spectrum is absorbed by the object. An object that looks white
reflects all the light that ….. it. An object that looks red reflects the red part of the spectrum
and absorbs the rest. Our eyes detect these different reflected waves and we see them as
difference colours.
