They prevent certain wavelengths (i.e. colours) from passing through. This means that you only see the colours that do pass through. If the object itself is coloured this may result in it becoming invisible if the filter is one that stops the object's colour from passing through it.

Why does a specific color reflected by an object give color to it?
White light contains all the colors mixed together. A colored object has a pigment on its surface that ABSORBS all these colors except one. This one color is reflected back off the object. Thus, as we see the object by this reflected light coming from the object into our eyes, the object appears to be colored.
What color of light do you see when you look through a colored transparent or translucent object?
You would see any color that transmits through the transparent or translucent object. However, it depends on what the transparent or translucent object's color it is. If it was red-colored glass, light would transmit red and you could see everything in red.
Why does a different color of light disappear when it goes onto a different color object?
because, as the light travels through the different coloured object, the colour in the object filters the 7 colours of light and only lets the same colour light as the object through.
What happens to the colors of white light when it hits opaque colored surfaces?
any colors that are not part of the color of the object are absorbed by the object. light of the colors that do make up the color of the object are reflected back to your eyes.
What color of filter changes red light to another color?
Filters don't change the color of light. They selectively absorb or transmit light based on its color. Anything that comes out of a filter must have been there before the light entered the filter.

What are color filters?
color filters are filters which show u a color.
Which filters for lenses highlight only specific colored objects making that object stand out when surrounded by other colored objects for instance only yellow objects?
To HIGHLIGHT Yellow you would use a filter of its COMPLEMENTARY Color. The Complement of Yellow is Violet. If you look up "Color Wheel" you will find a tool for determining Complementary Colors. They lay opposite each other on the Color Wheel.

Does a black object appear white when viewed through a red lens?
No. When you're looking at a black object with the naked eye, it obviously appears as black. If you looked at the same object with any colored lens, the object would appear as the same color (with semi tint of the color of the lens. Due to the fact that colored things are darker than clear things, objects seen in colored vision will appear darker than in clear vision, further proving that a dark colored object will not appear lighter when observed through a colored lens. Hope this helped
