Which property is not dependent on the amount of matter?

• A. Mass
• B. Length
• C. Volume
• D. Colour

Answer: (D)

Color is not tied to how much material you have because it describes how a material interacts with light. The color you see comes from which wavelengths are reflected or absorbed, a property set by the material’s composition and the way light interacts with it, not by the amount of material present.

In contrast, mass measures how much stuff there is, so it increases as you add more material. Volume is the space the object occupies, which grows with more material. Length can also change if you add material to form a longer object, so it depends on how much substance you’re working with.
