- The cause is that light is a form of energy that travels in beams and interacts with objects.
- The effect is that when light hits an object, some colors are absorbed and others are reflected, which determines the color we see.
- The cause is that the green leaves absorb all colors of light except green.
- The effect is that only the green beam is reflected back, so our eyes see the leaves as green.
- The cause is that the apple absorbs all colors except red.
- The effect is that only the red beam is reflected back, so our eyes see the apple as red.

- The effect is that we can see images of things the reflected light hit, such as the shiny surface or our own face.
