red reflects only red light.it absorbs all other light. similarly black absorbs all light and does not reflect any. this is the reason why feel hot in black clothes.

What colour will a cyan book illuminated with a blue light viewed through a green filter appear to be?
A cyan colored surface will reflect any blue or green light that is incident. The green filter will remove all colors of light passing through it except green. The book is illuminated with only blue light. Draw your conclusion.
Does a green object only reflect green lights?
No, green can reflect other colors, although I am not sure exactly which. I think green can reflect blue and yellow.
What would an objects colour be if it was green but you shone red light on to it?
A green object absorbs all light except green which is reflected by the pigment. White light is made up of all colors and all except green are absorbed; only green is reflected. If a red light is the only one illuminating a green shirt there is no green to reflect so the shirt will look black.
How do objects reflect light to show different colors?
In the visible spectrum of light, all colors have difference frequencies of wave lengths. So, an object that is green would absorb all the frequencies of light with in the spectrum except green, the light reflected from the object then hits our retina and then our brain tells us to interpret that object to be green. The frequencies that are absorbed in to the object are then converted into energy. That's why when you wear black cloths, black absorbs all visible light, you feel warmer, because the light it absorbs is converted into heat. And white would the opposite from that. If you are wondering why they would reflect that certain color, it is because all atoms and molecules have electrons. Electrons in atoms have a natural frequency that they vibrate when light hits them. The light with the same frequency as the natural frequency of the electrons in the atoms would be reflected.
What has a greater frequency yellow light or green light?
green
Do green plants reflect all colors of the spectrum?
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
What will be the color reflected by a green surface when yellow light is incident on it?
No light will be reflected, since there is no incident green light to reflect. To a human observer, the surface will appear black.
What colors are green surfaces reflecting?
Green surfaces are absorbing all other color photons, and reflect only green photons, making the surface appear as green.
What colour will a cyan book illuminated with a blue light viewed through a green filter appear to be?
A cyan colored surface will reflect any blue or green light that is incident. The green filter will remove all colors of light passing through it except green. The book is illuminated with only blue light. Draw your conclusion.
What color does you eye responed to when you look at a green leaf?
Green - except that your eye doesn't detect "color", just relative frequency. Your brain encodes that into color.
Do most plants leaves appear green because they abosrb green light?
The plants contain chlorophyll which in most cases has green dye in it. The plant appears green because they absorb all colors except green and reflect green.

Why are plants leaves green?
they reflect green wavelenths of light.
Why plants leaves green?
they reflect green wavelenths of light.
What colour would a green object look under a red light and why?
A green object would look blaack in a red light because coloured objects absorb all colours except the colour they are, so a green object absorbs 6 colours (red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet) and reflects 1 (green). In this situation, there is no green light to reflect and it can't reflect other colours, so it looks black. :)
