Hmm, let me see if I can shed some light on this question. If white light strikes an object and is completely absorbed, without any transmission or reflection, then we're most likely looking at a very dark and mysterious object. Could it be a black piece of paper? Ding ding, we have a winner! Congratulations on enlightening me with your question!
The object that could completely absorb white light without any transmission or reflection is a black piece of paper.
The correct answer is a black piece of paper. When white light strikes an object, it can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. In this case, the statement says that the light is completely absorbed, meaning none of it is transmitted or reflected.
To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options. A white sheet of plastic is unlikely because white objects typically reflect most of the light that hits them. A clear windowpane allows light to be transmitted through it, so it couldn't be the correct answer. A green long-sleeved shirt is not mentioned in the statement and doesn't provide any information about its light absorption properties.
On the other hand, a black piece of paper is known for its ability to absorb light. Black objects absorb most of the light that falls on them, which is why they appear dark. Therefore, a black piece of paper is the object that matches the description provided.
