Every object absorbs some wavelengths of light and reflects others. Then the reflected light resonates with the 3 types cone cells of the retina to varying degrees. Then the brain interprets the colors you see.

What colour will a yellow object look in red light and why?

It will look red. White light is made up of a spectrum of many colours. The primary colours are red, green and blue. An object (in white light) appears yellow because it reflects red and green light but absorbs blue light. In red light, the same object will simply reflect the red light. Since there is no green light, the object will appear red. (A mixture of red and green gives yellow)
