Which of the following light color combinations is incorrect? A. Red plus green produces yellow. B. Red plus yellow produces magenta. C. Blue plus green produces cyan. D. Blue plus yellow produces white.
Solutions
VerifiedB) Red plus yellow produces magenta.
Let's remember the light color combinations while solving this problem. We will check each one and with that find the one statement that is wrong.
a) Red plus green produces yellow. This one is true, we know that from the text.
b) Red plus yellow produces magenta. This one is not correct. Magenta is made by red and blue light, not red and yellow.
c) Blue plus green produces cyan. This one is also true.
d) Blue plus yellow produces white. White light is the light that is mixture of all colors. Because red and green make yellow light and then combining it with blue we get all three lights in one. That means this ones is true as well.
