Different types of light can affect the same material or object in different ways.

• True, for example radio waves are transmitted through plant cells while visible light is absorbed.

• False, because all light is the same.

• False, if an object can absorb light then it will be able to absorb it regardless of what type of light it is.

A material absorbs energy from some types of light and not others. Is this statement true or false?

• True, for example a green plant absorbs red and blue light while it reflects green light.

• True, as long as the temperature of the light is the same.

• False, an object will either absorb light or not, it can't do both.

• False, since light is not created or destroyed all objects must absorb light.
