no it is still a red light and he has to wait for the green to proceed The above answer is incorrect. If traffic is clear, you may proceed through a red light (at your own risk). This was recently passed by the State of Tn. The law allows motorcycles to "run" a red light in TN after stopping.
T.C.A. 55-8-110
.......
.
.(b) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the driver of a motorcycle approaching an intersection that is controlled by a traffic-control signal utilizing a vehicle detection device that is inoperative due to the size of the motorcycle shall come to a full and complete stop at the intersection and, after exercising due care as provided by law, may proceed with due caution when it is safe to do so. It is not a defense to a violation of § 55-8-109 that the driver of a motorcycle proceeded under the belief that a traffic-control signal utilized a vehicle detection device or was inoperative due to the size of the motorcycle when such signal did not utilize a vehicle detection device or that any such device was not in fact inoperative due to the size of the motorcycle

Can you run a red light on a bicycle in Tennessee?
If you're talking about using a red lamp on your bike: To the rear - yes. Pointing forward - no. Ir you're talking about riding through an intersection: There's some place in the US (and TN is one of them) where the traffic sensors can't pick up bicycles and motorcycles, so bicycles and motorcycles are allowed to drive on red - but only if the traffic situation allows it. You have to pay extra attention.

What light waves can go through an object?
Depends on the "object" and the frequency of the "light." All light waves can go through SOME objects, and some are stopped by an object that others can go right through. Radio waves can easily go through walls, optical light waves can go through glass, UV light can be easily stopped by many objects but can go through some others, and x-rays and gamma rays go through a wide variety of objects.
When a traffic light is turned off what should you do?
You should treat it as a stop sign. If there is a power outage or malfunctioning light, come to a complete stop at the intersection and yield to cars that stopped before you did.
What the traffic rules regarding amber traffic lights?
By "amber" I assume you mean yellow. A yellow traffic light indicates that your "right of way" is ending within the next couple seconds. When the light turns yellow you shouldn't enter the intersection if you haven't already, unless you've reached "The point of no return". It's not illegal to go through the intersection while the traffic light is yellow, but if you can stop you should, if you can't stop then go through the intersection (determined by your own judgement). A yellow light is basically a warning of a red light coming, where it is illegal to proceed through the intersection. The duration of a yellow light depends on the road the traffic light is governing. For a side road the traffic light may only show a yellow for around 3 seconds, for a major road such as a state road or US Highway, the traffic light may show a yellow for 4-6 seconds. These timings all depend on the road that the traffic light is governing and what the speed limit is for that road.
