Which colors are reflected by a red shirt?
A red shirt does not reflect color.
What wave length light is reflected from a red shirt?
the wavelength of red light i.e. 700 nm is reflected from red shirt. this follows the fact that a body absorbs those light radiations which it does not contain and reflects the ones it contains. eg. the red t shirt would absorb a green or a blue radiation but when red light falls on it, it gets reflected.
When white light shines on Peter's shirt the shirt looks blue Why does the shirt look blue?
White light is made up of three colours; red, green and blue. If the shirt appears blue, then the shirt has absorbed any other colours (green and red) and reflected the blue, making the shirt appear blue. I hope this has helped :)
Why does a green shirt look black in red light?
The reason the shirt appears red in white light is because it is absorbing all other colours apart from red which it is reflecting into your eyes. When in a green light there is no red component of the light to be reflected so the shirt absorbs all the available light which makes it appear black.
Why is a blue shirt blue?
your shirt appears blue because that is the color that is being reflected. for example, if a ray of light (the sun) is shining on a shirt then all of the colors of a rainbow are shining on the shirt. all of the colors are being absorbed by the shirt accept blue because blue is being reflected off the shirt and your eye sees the blue being reflected and the shirt appears blue. i hope this helps, it is a confusing subject.

If a white light shines on a red shirt what colors are reflected and what colors are absorbed?
Red
What happens to light rays that allow you to see colors?
When light hits a surface, some 'colors' are absorbed while others are reflected. The reflected colors are the ones you see. A red shirt absorbs all light except red which the red shirt reflects. A shirt that looks white reflects all light and absorbs none. A shirt that looks black absorbs all light and reflects none. this is why a white shirt will keep you cooler on a hot day.

How a shirt can look green though the light falling on it contains red blue and green?
Because the green light is the only colour that is reflected back from the shirt. The reds and blues are absorbed.

Why does a shirt look red when its held up to white light?
When beams of light strike a surface, part of the light is often absorbed. The surface may also absorb some colors and reflect others. For example, a red shirt reflects red light but absorbs all the other colors in the spectrum. In other words, the shirt looks red because we see red light reflected from its surface.
What would an objects colour be if it was green but you shone red light on to it?
A green object absorbs all light except green which is reflected by the pigment. White light is made up of all colors and all except green are absorbed; only green is reflected. If a red light is the only one illuminating a green shirt there is no green to reflect so the shirt will look black.
What makes us see things in color?
The ability of our brain to interpret the light which is reflected off the object into our eye. The object is hit by the full spectrum of light (Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet), absorbs some and reflects others. So seeing a shirt as red means it has absorbed all the light except red, then the light has been reflected into your eyes, an electrical signal sent to the brain, which then produces an image of your surroundings, and interprets the shirt as red.
