Anything that appears blue to your eye is radiating blue light, that is, wavelengths
around 450 to 500 nanometers. If the object isn't producing the light itself, then it's
being illuminated by some other source of light, and reflecting it.

When light is reflected is the color visible?
Yes. You can easily see the colors of your eyes, your hair, and your shirt in the mirror.
Will you get more tan wearing a black shirt than a white one?
This is a very controversial question. My personal belief is, since a black shirt absorbs the sun, it doesn't really allow any light to touch your body. However, a white shirt will reflect the light, so theres no tan either. My advice is to wear the white shirt, because theres the same chance of the tan, with more confort, and less sweat. However, it is true that, as long as you are hydrated, wearing a black shirt while exercising may help you lose more pounds. ---- Actually, the color of the shirt in visible light is completely irrelevant, what's important is the UV transmission properties. So this question is impossible to answer; you'd need to take a sample of the cloth and put it in a UV spectrometer to see which one allowed more UV through.
Why does white reflect light?
because since its a plain color it can reflect other colors like the color itself is being absorbed into the plain white. like a white shirt under a black light since the blacklight isn't white like a normal lightbulb the shirt appears purple but that purple color only shows with white pieces of clothing
What will a green t-shirt look like under a red light?
a black T-shirt
Why do dark colored shrits get hotter in the sun than light colored shrits?
Lighter colors reflect more light. Darker colors absorb more light. Sunlight is energy. You feel warmth when the sun shines on you because you are absorbing the energy of the sunlight. Darker colors absorb more energy so get warmer than lighter colors ------------------- Just like this answer ^^, dark colors do absorb more heat than lighter colors. Question is, I'm not really sure why.
When blue light falls on a white shirt what color will it reflect?
Blue light.
Why is a red shirt black when it is dark?
A shirt appears red because it reflects red wavelengths from light which falls on it. If it is dark then there is no incident light and so red light for the shirt to reflect to your eyes.
Why do you see the blue light from a blue shirt?
because the light reflect of the blue shirt and can make ur eyes even look blue
If a green light is shining on a green plant in a red pot what color would the green plant appear to be?
If the red light is pure red, and the plant has not pigments other than green, and there are no other light sources present, the plant will appear to not be lit at all. Colored light works with pigment that reflects it. Red light is reflected by red pigments, and green pigments reflect green light. The plant has green pigment and no green light to reflect, and the red light has no red pigment to reflect it. This means that no light will be reflected off of the plant and in theory, the only thing you will be able to see is the outline of the plant from the light reflected by other objects. In reality there is probably more pigments than green in the plant, and there are probably more light than red, so it will most likely overlap in a few places and appear a sort of gray.
Why will you likely be cooler if you were a light colored shirt instead of a dark colored shirt on a warm day?
Darker colors absorb light and heat; lighter colors reflect light and heat.
What colour would a red shirt appear when exposed to white light?
A white shirt is, basically, reflecting all colours of the electromagnetic spectrum which it is exposed to. So for white light it is reflecting red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. If you only expose it to red light (with a wavelength of ~650nm), it will reflect only that light. Therefore, the white shirt will appear red.
What color light does a yellow shirt reflect?
It reflects a radiation of b radiation which is a color green.
When light is reflected is the color visible?
Yes. You can easily see the colors of your eyes, your hair, and your shirt in the mirror.
What color would a yellow shirt appear when exposed to red light?
The visible red light has a wavelength of about 650 nm. At sunrise and sunset, red or orange colors are present because the wavelengths associated with these colors are less efficiently scattered by the atmosphere than the shorter wavelength colors (e.g., blue and purple). A large amount of blue and violet light has been removed as a result of scattering and the longwave colors, such as red and orange, are more readily seen.
A student places four shirts outside on a sunny day which color shirt will reflect the most light?
white
Why do dark objects absorb and white objects reflect light?
Dark objects absorb wavelengths of energy that are in the visible spectrum of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. A black shirt has molecules in it thatt absorbs energies of blue and green and all other colors we humans perceive. White light is made from all of the colors combined. A white shirt has atoms and molecules that absorb all the colors of light and release that energy outwards again.
What wave length light is reflected from a red shirt?
the wavelength of red light i.e. 700 nm is reflected from red shirt. this follows the fact that a body absorbs those light radiations which it does not contain and reflects the ones it contains. eg. the red t shirt would absorb a green or a blue radiation but when red light falls on it, it gets reflected.
