What color or colors of light are transmitted by a piece of yellow glass?

Red and green light. Yellow glass transmits yellow light. Yellow light is a combination of red and green light. Therefore yellow glass transmits red and green light and absorbs blue light.


Does red glass only reflect and transmit red light waves?

No, red glass does not only reflect and transmit red light waves. It actually transmits the white light waves through the red glass creating a red glow. A transparent object generally transmits light while a solid object reflects light.


What happens to light when it passes through a red filter?

After pure, white light passes through a red filter, all the other colors in the spectrum will flow out of the other side. My mistake, I had a faulty source. A red light filter will cause the image to appear as different shades of red. Since it is a red filter only red light can pass through. So you finish up with red light. Whether it is focussed to an image or not is of no consequence. As to different shades of red, you will get the shade of red that is passed by the filter.


What would happen if a light with a red filter was shined through a blue filter?

A red filter will absorb all but the red wavelength of light. A blue filter absorbs all but blue light. So the blue filter will absorb the red wavelength and no light will shine through.


What color would white light appear viewed through red filter and pure blue?

Red or blue. The reason a red filter looks and is red, is because only red light comes through it, and the same can be said about a blue filter allowing only blue light through. Other colors are absorbed by the dyes in the filter. If white light enters a red filter, then red light comes out, and the same goes for blue.

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.

It absorbs all colors except red.

Why does a white shirt look red when using a red filter?

-- A white shirt is called "white" because any light that hits it, no matter what color,bounces off of it.-- A red filter is called "red" because any light that hits it is absorbed and dies in thefilter, EXCEPT red light, which survives to come out the other side.-- So if there is any red in the light arriving at the filter, then the light that comes out is red.(And if there is no red in the light arriving at the filter, then no light comes out of it at all.)-- Therefore, we can be sure that light shining on the shirt ... if it has been through the filter ...is red light.-- The shirt reflects any light that hits it, so the light that proceeds from the shirt to your eyesis red light.


How do disco lights work?

They have color filters. A red filter, for example, transmits only red light that is emitted from the white light bulb. (White light is a combination of all colors of light) A green disco light has a green screen/filter that only lets through the green light photons form the white light. So, your eyes only see the green or the red wavelengths.


If white light shines through a red filter the filter aborbs?

Everything but red.
