Best Answer

All of the electromagnetic spectrum can be reflected. White light is a combination of all colors. They all reflect, red is among them.

What colour does a white ball look in red light?

It would appear to be red because it can only reflect the red light.


What colour is a white object under red light?

The white object will look red because the white surface reflects all colors and since only a red light is used it will only reflect red.


Does red glass only reflect and transmit red light waves?

No, red glass does not only reflect and transmit red light waves. It actually transmits the white light waves through the red glass creating a red glow. A transparent object generally transmits light while a solid object reflects light.


How does white paper reflects heat?

We see color based on the way objects reflect light. Different wavelengths of light are different colors, and the light that an object reflects is what we see. For example, a red ball reflects red light, and so we see the ball as red. Any light that the object doesn't reflect is absorbed, so the red ball would absorb all the light that isn't red. This light then turns into heat. In science, white is the absence of light, and so white objects reflect all light. This means that the object isn't absorbing any light, and so the object isn't absorbing any heat.


Does white light reflect or bend?

Reflect.


What colour will red boots look in red light?

They will look red. This is because red boots only reflect red light. If white light was shining on them then they would still appear red because the red light would be reflected into your eyes and the other colours from the spectrum would be absorbed. However, if, for example blue light was shining on them, they would look dark/black because there is no red light to reflect.


Is red denser then blue?

Photographically, both reflect about 50% of the white light falling on them, depending, of course, on their hue. A really dark blue would reflect far less than a light red, same with blue.


How do color and light affect each other?

Color and light are the same thing A color is a spesific wavelength of light. All the colors together makes white light. A red ball reflect "only" the red wavelength of the light, thereby appearing red. If you shine on it with a blue light and blue light only, the ball will appear Black, simply because there is no Red light to reflect.
