A green object would appear black under red light. This is because red light contains wavelengths outside of the green object's pigment range, so it cannot reflect any light back to our eyes. This results in the object appearing dark or black.
A yellow filter would absorb blue light, making a blue object appear black in a black-and-white photograph.
A green object would appear yellow under yellow light because objects reflect and absorb light, and yellow light would enhance the reflection of yellow wavelengths from the green object while reducing the reflection of green wavelengths. This creates the perception of the object appearing yellow under the yellow light.
You could use a yellow filter to absorb blue light, making the blue object appear black since no blue light would reflect off of it.
shine - shone - shone. (shone is pronounced shon)."Shone" can be regarded as all-purpose.However "shined" is transitive - it needs an object - so shoes or a table can be shined, but it would not be appropriate to use "shined" as a description of someone's ability.
A red object would appear black under green light, as it absorbs green light and does not reflect any visible light to our eyes.
The red light would be absorbed by the green object and the object would appear dark. The green object reflects green light and absorbs other colors.
black
blue
A "green" object is called "green" because that's the only color of light it reflects, and it absorbs any other color. If orange light is shining on it, then there's no light for it to reflect, and it looks black to you.
Black light
That would be called a spotlight.
An object appears a certain color to you because it reflects that color of light and absorbs other colors of light. For example, a white object appears white because it reflects all colors of visible light (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). A black object appears black because it absorbs all of these colors--and as a result, none of those colors are reflected back to your eyes. Under white light, the object appears yellow-green because it reflects both yellow and green light and absorbs all other colors. (Remember, white light has all colors of visible light in it). If only green light is present, there's only green light for it to reflect--so it will appear green. If you shined yellow light on it only, it would be yellow. If you shined yellow and green light, it would appear yellow-green again. It you shined red and blue light on it, it would appear black, because it absorbs both of those colors.
A green object will appear black if only blue light is shone on it because blue light is absorbed by the object and green is the complementary color of blue.
A blue object appears blue because it absorbs most colors and reflects blue light. However, when a red light shines on a blue object, the blue object would absorb the red light and reflect blue, so it would still appear blue.

The red object would appear red under a red light because objects primarily reflect the color of light that is shining on them. Since red light contains mainly red wavelengths, the object would still reflect red light and appear red.
