Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dull appearance of the flowers suggests that they are not reflecting vibrant or bright colors. Since visible light waves range from low frequency red light to high frequency violet light, the flowers are most likely reflecting low frequency (long wavelength) light waves, which appear as dull colors. Additionally, the small amplitude of the reflected light waves suggests that the flowers are not reflecting a lot of light energy, which could contribute to their dull appearance. Therefore, the best choice is C, low frequency and small amplitude light waves.
