Two teams A and B are taking part in a volleyball competition held on a ground illuminated by a sodium vapour lamp (yellow light). Team A is wearing a white jersey and blue shorts while team B is wearing a yellow jersey and black shorts.
Statement: We can distinguish between the teams based on the colour of their dress.
False
The white jersey and yellow jersey both appear yellow in yellow light because both white and yellow surfaces can reflect yellow light. Both black shorts and blue shorts absorb yellow light, so they appear in black and dark respectively. Hence we cannot distinguish the teams based on the colour of their dress.
