How well would a plant grow under a yellow light?

Most plant life needs full spectrum lighting. In early stages of a flowering plant, it would need a blue and green spectrum (achieved with usually metal halide light) and then switched over to a red and orange spectrum (using high pressure sodium lighting). Growing a plant under pure yellow light will most likely make the plant grow quickly, but wiry - the stem will get really long and the top of the plant will most likely fall over eventually). It depends on the plant. Pure yellow light uses the red/orange spectrum and cacti do well in this type of lighting. Houseplants (which prefer blue/green spectrum) would most likely do poorly in "pure yellow light".

What colour is a white object under yellow light?

Why do you call it a "white object" ? Could it be because it looks white under white light ... light composed of every color ? Well then, the object must reflect every color. So it appears to be the color of whatever light you illuminate it with. Yellow under yellow light, etc.
