What is true about the light passing through a filter if the light appears green?

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.

How can you filter out only green light?
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 :)
Why a green object appears black when viewed through a red filter?
A green object appears black when viewed through a red filter (here a red filter means red light) because green object can only reflect green color and absorb all the other colors so in the red light it will definitely appear black.
What colour will a cyan book illuminated with a blue light viewed through a green filter appear to be?
A cyan colored surface will reflect any blue or green light that is incident. The green filter will remove all colors of light passing through it except green. The book is illuminated with only blue light. Draw your conclusion.

If you look through a red filter at a sheet of green paper that is in white light what will you see?
The paper appears black. -- The paper is called "green" because it absorbs any light that isn't green, and reflects only green light to the observer. -- The filter is called "red" because it absorbs any light that isn't red, and transmits only red light through to the other side. -- There's no red light shining from the paper into the filter, so there's no light leaving the filter. The paper appears black.

I look at a lamp through a green filter. The lamp gives out white light but I see green why is this possible?
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.
What happens when you shine a red light through a red filter on a green dress?
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 happens when a yellow book in a green filter?
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.
How does a color filter work?
A coloured fliter works by only allowing a certain section of the spectrum through the fliter. For example, if everything seen through a filter is green hued, then the filter only lets through green light.
