What color light is absorbed by an object that appears red under white light?

Red Light


Why does an object appear red when white light is shone on it?

Because white light is made up of all the colors of the spectrum, and an object that appears red in color is simply reflecting the color red, a white object refects all the colors of the spectrum while black objects reflect no colors at all.


Is red light reflected or absorbed by an object if the object appears red to your eyes?

What colour will a yellow object look in red light and why?

It will look red. White light is made up of a spectrum of many colours. The primary colours are red, green and blue. An object (in white light) appears yellow because it reflects red and green light but absorbs blue light. In red light, the same object will simply reflect the red light. Since there is no green light, the object will appear red. (A mixture of red and green gives yellow)


Why an object appears yellow in daylight appears red when illuminated with red light and red when illuminated with magenta light?

Our eyes only see the colours red, green and blue, in varying levels. It is our brain that converts combinations of these into the many millions of colours that we can perceive.An object that appears yellow under white light is reflecting colours that cause both our red and green cones (cells in our eyes that respond to colour) to fire. Note we have no yellow cones in our eyes.When the same object is placed under red light, then only red light is reflected from the object, and thus only the red cones respond, causing us to see the object as red.

We see colours because of the light absorbed by the object in view. White paper absorbs all the colours of the rainbow - so only white is reflected. A red stop sigh absorbs all colours except for red & white.
