What part of white light is reflected when an object appears yellow?

When an object appears yellow, that means that most of the light bouncing off it is yellow light. If there is light of other colors hitting it, it's absorbing everything else except the yellow.


Why does a school bus look yellow and explain reflection and absorption?

A school bus is often painted yellow for visibility and safety reasons, as yellow is a color that stands out well against most backgrounds and is easily seen from a distance. Reflection is when light bounces off a surface, like how you see your own reflection in a mirror. Absorption is when an object takes in some of the light that hits it. In the case of a yellow school bus, it reflects most of the yellow light that hits it, which is why we see it as yellow.

Why does your friend appear to be at rest though the bus is moving?

Your friend appears to be at rest because they are in the same reference frame as the bus. Since they are moving at the same speed and direction as the bus, there is no relative motion between them and the bus, making it seem like they are at rest.
