Why does a green leaf appear green in daylight and dark in red light?
Green objects reflect all green wavelengths of visible light, so if it is only under red light, it has no colors to reflect and appears black.
What colors reflect?
Lighter colors reflect light better because it does not absorb all of it some of it reflects and you see light colors. That is why they appear light. They reflect almost all of the light that hits them thus making them light. White reflects the most light and black absorbs the most light. Different colors reflect different amounts of light. Light is also heat. Thus the more light reflected the cooler the object.
What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?
White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.
What is the function of mirror?
Mirrors reflect light.
Is it true that a mirror will reflect light?
Mirrors do reflect light
Why does a mirror and a leaf reflect light differently?
Light is reflected of metal when it is polished and flat because it is very light and lighter colors reflect light whereas darker colors such as green suck the colors in.

What color does a green leaf appear to be in red light?
Black, obviously. The reason green leaves appear green is because when placed in white light, the leaf absorbs all the colors of the spectrum and reflects only green light. However, in red light, the leaf absorbs the red light but is unable to reflect any green light because there is no green to reflect. So, it appears black. Try watching green plants at night (or very low light conditions). That should give you a practical proof of the fact mentioned above.
What color does a green leaf appear to be in red light and why?
It appears black. A green pigment can only reflect green light and red light is a primary colour, that is it contains only red.

Do starts reflect light?
I belive stars make light, not reflect them.
