Red. As the filter will only allow red light through, it, you can not see anything but reds.

What is transparent and translucent?
A physical thing that is transparent allows light to pass through. Clear glass or plastic, even if tinted, is transparent. You can see objects clearly and with a great deal of detail when looking through something that is transparent. Think of the similarites of the words appearance and transparent. Objects that are translucent allow light to pass through, but the light is so diffused that objects cannot be seen. A sheet of ordinary paper is an example. You can hold a sheet of paper up to a light and you can easily see that light passes through it. but you cannot see with any kind of detail what is behind the paper.
Why does light reflect better off a mirror than a sheet of paper?

Why would a flat sheet of paper and a wad of paperwith the same mass not fall through the air at the same rate?
The flat sheet of paper would encounter more air resistance than the wadded sheet of paper would.
Why does your hand glow red when you put a flashlight against it?
Human skin is opaque - in that it lets a small amount of light pass through (like looking at a light through a sheet of white paper). The red colour comes from the minute blood vessels illuminated by the light passing through the skin.
If you look through a red filter at a sheet of green paper that is in white light what will you see?
The paper appears black. -- The paper is called "green" because it absorbs any light that isn't green, and reflects only green light to the observer. -- The filter is called "red" because it absorbs any light that isn't red, and transmits only red light through to the other side. -- There's no red light shining from the paper into the filter, so there's no light leaving the filter. The paper appears black.
What does a blue filter do to blue light?
Blue light will simply pass through a blue filter, as the filter will only absorb colours which are not blue (red and green).

Is bond paper is an example of opaque materials?
No. Bond paper is translucent. It does allow some light through but the wavefront is destroyed and the light reflected internally in the paper several times so that it is not at all transparent.An example of an opaque material is a sheet of metal.

Can you generate enough heat from a light source to cut through something?
Take a magnifying glass, and you can direct the sunlight to rip through a sheet of paper. Message board me if this isn't enough.

What color light will make a red sheet of paper look black?
Any light that does not contain the primary color red will make the sheet of paper look black. (for example green, blue, cyan,... but not yellow, violet,...) This is because the surface of the sheet is such that it absorbs all the colors of white light except red which is reflected and which is why it appears red in white light.
What is the advantage of using fluted filter paper?
Fltuted Filter paper is essentially when you fold a sheet of filter paper in a certain way as to maximise it's surface area. More surface area means more effective filtration http://www.chem.ubc.ca/courseware/235/danalabsess/flutedfilterpaper.html
How would you separate a saltwaterand sand mixture?
Put a filter paper cone in a funnel or a sheet of filter paper in a sieve and place the funnel or sieve over an empty container. Gently pour the mixture in. The salt water will go throughbut the sand will be trapped by the filter paper. Allow it to dry out.
