Objects A and B are illuminated by a light source that produces only visible rad

Question

Objects A and B are illuminated by a light source that produces only visible radiation. To the eye, A looks bright, while B looks dark. What causes this difference? A. Object A produces ultraviolet radiation, while Object B only produces visible radiation B. The visible light illuminating the two objects has a frequency that matches the resonance frequencies of the charges in Object A, and hence are strongly reflected by those charges. However, the light does not match the resonance frequencies of Object B, hence it is not reflected and Object B looks dark. C. The visible light illuminating the two objects has a frequency that matches the resonance frequencies of the charges in Object B, and hence are completely absorbed by those charges. However, the light does not match the resonance frequencies of Object A, so they are not completely absorbed. D. None of the above

Explanation / Answer

c.)The visible light illuminating the two objects has a frequency that matches the resonance frequencies of the charges in Object B, and hence are completely absorbed by those charges. However, the light does not match the resonance frequencies of Object A, so they are not completely absorbed.
