Does an object appears blue is it reflects all wavelengths of light except blue?

If it didn't reflect blue, then there wouldn't be any blue light from it to enter your eye,and you wouldn't see any blue.If the object looks blue, then you know two things:1). There was some blue light hitting the object.2). The blue light hitting the object wasn't all absorbed. At leastsome of it was reflected from the object, toward your eye.


Why does a blue object appear black when viewed through red?

generally speaking things appears the colors that they do because of two things, the way our eyes and brain perceive them and the way the object absorbs and reflects different wavelengths of the light spectrum. our minds interpret the light spectrum as the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue indigo and violet and any combination of these colors. when light strikes an object, the object absorbs and reflects light waves, for instance if an object appears red to you, it's because the surface of the object absorbs all the other light wavelengths except red, which bounces back to our eye and causes the object to appear red. strangely enough, when all colors of the light spectrum are bounced back to us, we perceive the object to be white and when none of the colors are reflected, we perceive the object to be black!

What would a red object look like shone onto a blue light?

Red and blue are at opposite ends of the visible light spectrum, red being of low frequency, and blue being of high frequency. Sunlight contains frequencies across the whole frequency range, which appears white. An object that appears white reflects all frequencies. A red object appears red because it reflects red (low frequency) light, and absorbs all other colours. Blue light contains only high frequencies. If you are in a darkened room, lit only by blue light, white objects will appear blue because they are reflecting the blue light, and no other frequency is available. But a red object absorbs high-frequency (blue) light, and since this is the only light in the room, it does not reflect any light. Objects that do not reflect any light appear black. Some objects appear black even in sunlight, because they absorb all frequencies and do not reflect any. So to answer the question, when you have a red object that is lit only by blue light, it will appear black.
