The correct Answer is:
To determine the color of the stripes on the United Football Club's jersey under yellow floodlights, we need to analyze how colors interact with light. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Colors of the Stripes**: The jersey has blue and white stripes. 2. **Understand Color Reflection and Absorption**: - **Blue Stripes**: Blue color reflects blue light and absorbs other colors. - **White Stripes**: White color reflects all colors of light. 3. **Consider the Type of Light**: The floodlights produce yellow light. 4. **Analyze the Blue Stripes Under Yellow Light**: - Since blue absorbs yellow light, the blue stripes will not reflect any light and will appear black. 5. **Analyze the White Stripes Under Yellow Light**: - The white stripes reflect all colors, including yellow. Therefore, under yellow light, the white stripes will appear yellow. 6. **Conclusion**: Under yellow floodlights, the blue stripes will appear black, and the white stripes will appear yellow. Thus, the overall appearance of the jersey will be a combination of black and yellow. ### Final Answer: The blue stripes will appear black, and the white stripes will appear yellow under yellow floodlights. ---
