A white object under a blue light will appear blue. However, your brain knows that the light is blue, and takes that into account when interpreting the scene. You'll probably still "know" the object is white.
It's possible for stage technicians to take advantage of this and make you think that blue objects are white, by lighting them with blue light. (This is more common with red and green: lighting a green object with green light makes you think it's white; lighting it with red light will make it look black instead. This is a way to suddenly reveal figures that had previously been hidden on stage.)
What else can I help you with?
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.
What color will an object under white light appear to be if it reflects all the colors of light?
The object will appear white because it reflects all colors of light equally, resulting in a white appearance.
What color light is absorbed by an object that appears red under white light?
The object absorbs all colors of light except for red, which is reflected off the object and is what we perceive as the color red.
If object is white in sunlight what color will it be in green light?
If an object is white in sunlight it will be green in green light. A white object reflects all wavelengths (colors) of light that shine on it. If only green light shines on it, that color will be reflected and the object will look green.
What would a white object appear under a red light?
A white object would appear to be red under a red light because the object reflects red light and absorbs other colors. This is because the color of an object depends on the wavelengths of light it reflects.
What does a blue object look like under white light?
A blue object under white light will appear as blue because it reflects blue light wavelengths and absorbs other colors. The white light contains all the colors of the visible spectrum, but the blue wavelengths are the ones reflected by the object, giving it its blue color.
Why does the color white occur?
There are two ways that the color white occurs, as light and as the color of an object. When you see white light it is a combination of many colors of light, because white light is a combination of all light. When you see a white object, that object is reflecting all of the colors of light back at you, because that surface doesn't absorb any of the colors of light.
When a object has no color and light hits it what color will it be?
If an object has no color of its own and light hits it, the object will appear white. This is because the object reflects all visible light wavelengths equally, resulting in white light being perceived by our eyes.
What will a yellow object look like when under a yellow light?
A yellow object under a yellow light will appear very bright and vibrant, as the object will reflect the light in a consistent color. This can potentially make it difficult to differentiate between the object and the surrounding light source.
When white light is reflected . what color will the object appear?
The color of the object that you see will depend on the wavelengths of light that are reflected. Objects appear a certain color because they absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others. White light contains all colors of the spectrum, so the color you see is the result of the wavelengths that are reflected by the object.
What a black object look like under a yellow light?
The reason a black object is described as "a black object" is becasuse even under white light, where every color is available, the thing absorbs all of them, and doesn't reflect any color. Illuminating it with light of only a single color isn't going to change that. It'll still appear black.
What happens to the colors of light when white light hits an object?
When white light hits an object, the object absorbs certain colors of light and reflects others. The colors that are reflected off the object are what we perceive as the color of the object.
