A classmate tries to explain why an object looks red and black. Read the two statements, and determine if your classmate was correct.

Red: "When light hits an object, it absorbs all of the frequencies of visible light except for red. The red frequency is reflected to your eyes and you see the color red."

Black: "When light hits an object, it absorbs all of the frequencies of visible light except for black. The black frequency is reflected to your eyes and you see the color black."
