Question

1# How does Figure 1 help explain how it is possible for you to see the red ball?

Answer 1

It is important to understand that the sun produces all visible wavelengths of light but different molecules reflect different wavelengths of light. Essentially, this diagram is saying that the ball reflects only certain wavelengths of light from the sun which you see as the color red.
