Dark-colored objects reflect more light than lighter-colored objects. true false

The statement is false. Lighter-colored objects reflect more light that dark-colored objects.

Explanation:

Color is a visual perception caused by the action of a beam of photons on specialized cells of the retina, which transmit, through pre-processed information to the optic nerve, impressions to the nervous system.

The color of an object is determined by the frequency of the wave it reflects. An object will have a certain color if it does not absorb the wavelengths that correspond to that color. Thus, an object is red if it preferentially absorbs frequencies outside of red.

Color is related to the different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are perceived by people, in a specific range, and by some animals through the organs of vision, as a sensation that allows us to differentiate objects from space with greater precision.

Considering the colors as light, the white color results from the overlap of all the primary colors (green, blue and red), while black is the absence of light. White light can be decomposed into all colors (the spectrum) using a prism. In nature, this decomposition creates a rainbow.
