A substance appears coloured because
A
It absorbs light at specific wavelength in the visible part and reflects rest of the wavelength
B
Ligands absorb different wavelength of light which give colour to the complex
C
It absorbs white light and shows different colours at different wavelength
D
It is diamagnetic in nature.
Answer
It absorbs light at specific wavelength in the visible part and reflects rest of the wavelength
Explanation
Solution
A Substance absorbs light at specific wavelength in the visible part of the spectrum and reflects the rest of the wavelengths. Each wavelength represents a different colour hence corresponding colour is observed.
