Any object that has light shone on it would appear in a particular color because the said object absorbs all the other colors of the spectrum and reflects one single color.
when the light itself consists of a single color, the color of the object gets modified because the reflected light contains the color of the light and then part that is reflected.
For ex, the wall in the question would appear red if the light is only one wavelength but would appear as a combination of red and its own natural color if the light is a combination of different wavelengths.

How can you look over a wall with a periscope?
You can look over a wall with a periscope because the tube has mirrors what are on a 45 degree angle so the light goes in the top, reflects off the top mirror, then onto the bottom mirror and then into your eyes. Don't forget: Light only travels in straight lines
What happens when light falls on mirror?
It is reflected. Depending on the shape of the mirror, this can be at a variety of angles. Assuming the question refers to a flat mirror that is hung on a wall; a plane (flat) mirror has an imaginary straight line at a right-angle to it, called the normal. A ray of light hits the mirror at an angle to the normal, but is reflected at the same angle that it hits the mirror in the opposite direction. So if a ray hits the mirror at 45 degrees from the normal, it will be reflected at 45 degrees from the normal in the opposite direction.

How is a reflection of light off a white wall similar to the reflection of light off a mirror?
when light hits an object some light is absorbed and some is reflected. when it hits a mirror, almost all of that light is reflected. when it hits a white wall a lot of the light is reflected but not enough to form an image our i can detect. a wall is also not smooth so the light is reflected at billions of different angles
What happens when light hits a white surface?
By calling it a "white surface", you've already described what happens. A large fraction of the light, regardless of its wavelength, reflects from the surface, and very little of it, regardless of its wavelength, is absorbed. If any of this were appreciably different, then the surface would not be white.
What is a sentence with the word shone?
The light shone through the crack in the wall.
What will happen when a light is shone at a glass prism?
it will make a rainbow on the wall
Has the cross of Jesus ever appeared on your wall?
It was a shadow caused by the angle of light shining onto the wall, nothing more.
What is projector?
A projector is a machine that shines a reflection of an image or text onto the surface in front of it. Example: The music teacher shone the song lyrics onto the wall for the children to see via the projector
How can you use eerily in a sentence?
The lights shone eerily on the wall as she walked into the room.
What happens when light waves strike a black wall?
The reason the wall appears black is that it absorbs light in the visible spectrum (~400nm to ~700 nm in wavelength); otherwise, the wall is no longer black. A green wall reflects green light (~500 nm) but absorbs all else. ===========================
What happens to tron light cycles when they hit a light wall?
they are derezzed when they hit their own light trail or another program/users trail
What happens when white light strikes a green wall?
the light perceives which is the one that is reflected, then most gets absorbed with whats rest of the light .
What happens at the end of the movie walle?
Wall-E and Eve live happily ever after and the human population is reintroduced back onto Earth.
Does going the speed of light really take you into the future?
Apparently not. When I turn my flashlight on and shine it at the wall across the room, the light from the flashlight crosses the room at the speed of light, and it makes this big fuzzy spot on the opposite wall. It not only gets there right now and not in the future, but some of it bounces off the wall and back to me so that I can see the wall, and that also happens right now and not in the future.
Nothing can last in unending time what is the rest of this text written on Julius polybius house wall?
When the sun has shone brightly , it returns to the sea
Where do you put the big coins in the temple of light binweevils?
Urm hi, the coins you are on about, you put them onto the four brown circles on the wall. Hope that helped xx
