If you see the color orange, this means:

• The colors red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet have been absorbed and orange has been refracted.

• The colors red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet have been absorbed and orange has been reflected.

• The color orange has been absorbed and red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are refracted.

• The color orange has been absorbed and red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are reflected.

If the angle of incidence in the diagram is 50 degrees, which statement is true?

• The angle of reflection is 40 degrees because is is measured from the normal line, which is 90 degrees

• The angle of reflection is 50 degrees because it is equal to the angle of incidence.

• The angle of reflection is 60 degrees, because it is greater than the angle of incidence.

• The angle of refraction is 50 degrees, because it is equal to the angle of incidence.
