In which of these cases ripe bananas appear black- when illuminated with red, yellow, green or blue light?
A pure red object on a black background seems to disappear when illuminated with pure green light. Explain why.
For some reason, a banana turned magenta. In what light should you serve the banana such that it appears yellow?

- According to the Young-Helmholtz theory of color vision, humans have cell receptors called "cones" in their retina that have peak sensitivities in the Red, Green and Blue wavelength ranges. When light reflects off a surface, we perceive the color or colors that are reflected; other colors are absorbed by the material. Which TWO of the following statements are correct? Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by white light, other colors are absorbed and are therefore necessary for photosynthesis. If a yellow light illuminates a white book, the reflection will cause the red and green cones of an observer to be stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve. If both a red light and a green light illuminate a white book, the reflection will cause the blue cones of an observer to be stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve.
