Best Answer

In a spectrometer, each dye will absorb light of certain colors and transmit light of other colors because of the nature of the atoms of the object and the frequency of the light. If the frequency of the light is the same as the frequency that the electrons in the atoms are vibrating, then the light will be absorbed and transferred into vibrational motion.
