All of them except red.

I'm pretty sure that's how the filter became a red filter.

What must happen to all wave lengths of light for a substance to appear white?

The colours we see in an object are only the colours that are reflected. Inferentially, the other colours are absorbed. The grass is green (when illuminated by a white light source) because the redder end of the spectrum is absorbed and used by the plant to do its stuff - photosynthesis and so on. A white card appears white because all the light wavelengths [to which we can respond] are reflected. That card may absorb some of the white light, but not at wavelengths to which we respond.

How can you change the color of white light?

White light is made up of all the colours in the spectrum. This can be proved by passing a ray of white light through a prism. As the light passes through the prism it will be split into the colours of the rainbow. Making a rainbow is one way of changing the colour of white lite. Another way is to filter the light - if you shine white light through a red filter then only the red bit of the white light will pass through, turning the light beam into a red beam.


What cause the color you see when you look at an opaque object?

White light is made up of all the colours of the rainbow. When light hits an object, some colours (wavelengths) are absorbed, and some reflected. The colour you see is a combination of all the reflected colours.


What Think of the seven colours of the rainbow Now explain why a stop sign appears red and white printer paper appears white?

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.
