Red Roses

This week I didn't really notice very much physics around me. After completing the worksheet for the weekened however, I realized that there was physics right on the dining room table. On monday it was my mom's birthday, so my dad bought her a bouquet of roses. The roses were a very vibrant red. This past week, I learned that they are red because it reflects red light. White light consists of red, blue and green light combined together. When the white light shines on the rose, the flower absorbs the green and blue light, reflecting the red light, which is why the roses look red.
