6.4 Colours of Light 2

This document is a worksheet about light and color for a lower secondary science class. It contains questions about the primary colors of light, how different colors are produced by combining lights, and how the color something appears depends on the light shining on it. For example, a green ball would appear green under green light and blue light since it reflects green and absorbs other colors, and a blue ball would appear black under white light since it absorbs all colors.
