the light turns green because all the other colours of the spectrum are absorbed while the green is reflected
A cyan filter will pass green light. In fact, you could pass the light through a cyan filter AND a yellow filter and it would be unchanged.
Mostly green.
No. Red light will not go through a green or a blue filter.
Shining a blue light through a cyan filter will result in a blue light shining through. As cyan is a combination of blue and green light, it will allow blue and green light to pass through it. Red light will be absorbed by the filter. This is proven by shining a violet or magenta light through the filter and it allowing blue light will shine through. It is shown as well by shining a yellow light through the filter which will result in green light shining through as both violet and yellow are a combination of red the other two primary colours, blue and green.
you use a green filter in front of the light and you should just get green light passing through as all the other colours are absorbed by the filter. the filter would just be a sort of plastic thing which is green in colour :)

it doesn't let light through
When a yellow book is viewed through a green filter, the filter will absorb most of the yellow light but allow green light to pass through. As a result, the book may appear darker and its yellow color may become less vibrant when viewed through the green filter.

The red light sails straight through the red filter unimpeded, and is then completely absorbed by the fabric. Since there's no green light floating around, there is no light at all to bounce off of the dress toward your eyes, and the dress appears black.
What is true is that the light has a green component. That's why it appears green. The green light can get through. There may have been another or other colors of light present when the light entered the filter, but because the filter is green, the other colors were absorbed. Remember, if an object is a given color, it is that color because it reflects that color and absorbs all others.
The red light is absorbed by the green filter and therefore no light passes through the filter
I'm guessing it was probably the GREEN light, and that somehow it had something to do with why the filter was named a "GREEN" filter, and why when you looked at it, it looked GREEN.
White light is actually composed of red, green, and blue in approximately equal proportions. A green filter allows the green light to pass through it, while absorbing red and blue wavelengths. Hence you seen green. You'll also notice that the intensity of the light is reduced when viewed through the filter because of the abroption of the other colors.
