Probably because when we are really young, the books we read that contain apples are usually red, and also, because most parents buy red apples for their kid's to eat, and when we learn the alphabet next to the letter A is almost always a red apple. It's probably mostly just because almost all things apples we see are seen as red, since the red apples are sweeter, and look more appealing and vibrant.

Why can you see red and green colors on an apple?

We see colour because the normal white light is made up different wavelengths. Objects absorb certain wavelengths of light while reflecting others. An apple, reflects the red wavelength while absorbing all the other colours and so it appears colour red. If you pass sunlight through a prism in order to generate a spectrum, and hold the apple in each of the dominating colours, you will notice the colour of the apple changing.

What would happen if you shone a bright red light on a green apple?

Since the apple is green, it would absorb any light that is not the same color as the apple. In this instance, the apple would appear very dark or even black since there is no green in the red light you are shining on the apple. A popular science experiment involves a shoe box, a piece of colored plastic or glass, a few objects (such as the apple), and a flashlight. If a red apple is being used with a red filter, the apple would appear to be a bright red since the apple is also red. The red filter allows the red color being reflected off the apple to pass through. Switch the filter to a green one, and the apple appears black since the filter effectively filters out all colors except green.


Is it true that every object has properties but the properties of an object are not unique to that specific object?

in context... the apple is red, being red is one property of this apple... the apple has pips (seeds) this is another property of the apple. However there are lots of objects that have both pips and are red... so these are not unique to it. yes in short! x


How would a red apple look under a green light?

A purely green apple would look black under purely red light. If the apple were not purely green, it would look dark red. If the light were not purely red, the apple would look dark green. This is because red light does not reflect off purely green objects, and it is the reflected light which we see.
