Open in App
Solution

As we know sunlight has white color light which is a mixture of all primary colors.

  1. When it falls on white paper the paper looks white because it reflects all the other colors.
  2. When it falls on a red rose it absorbs all the colors except the red color.

Hence white paper looks white in sunlight and red rose looks red in the sunlight.
