Question
A student notices that a 0.0200 mg/mL nickel solution has a green color.
Is this solution absorbing or transmitting the green component of visible light? And why?
Absorbing green light, because that color is absorbed and then transmitted out to be seen.
Absorbing green light, as that is specific to the green nickel solution.
Transmitting green light, as solely green light was absorbed and is then transmitted out.
Transmitting green light, as other wavelengths are absorbed and those corresponding to green are not.
A.Absorbing green light, because that color is absorbed and then transmitted out to be seen.

C.Transmitting green light, as solely green light was absorbed and is then transmitted out.
D.Transmitting green light, as other wavelengths are absorbed and those corresponding to green are not.
Explanation / Answer
Ans D) Transmitting green light , as other wavelengths are absorbed and those corresponding to green are not
The white light is composed of seven colours , i,e violet , indigo , blue , green , yellow , orange and red.
The colour of the material taht is visible to our naked eye is the one that is transmitted across and while the others being absorbed.
When all the wavelengths are absorbed and none is transmitted , the substance appears black , when all are transmitted and none is absorbed , the substance appears white.
