They are sometimes yellow or some other colors, but if they are green it's because they are not blue.

Because the light reflects off something and turns that object green.

If object is white in sunlight what color will it be in green light?

If an object is white in sunlight it will be green in green light. A white object reflects all wavelengths (colors) of light that shine on it. If only green light shines on it, that color will be reflected and the object will look green.

It will look black, or green, depending on the hue of the red. A green filter blocks the red light but no red object is reflecting solely in the red wavelengths, and any non-red light will appear green through the filter.

What colour would a green object look under a red light and why?

A green object would look blaack in a red light because coloured objects absorb all colours except the colour they are, so a green object absorbs 6 colours (red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet) and reflects 1 (green). In this situation, there is no green light to reflect and it can't reflect other colours, so it looks black. :)


What would a green object look like in a magenta light?

A pure green object would reflect the green third of the spectrum, and absorb the red and blue portions. Magenta light is composed of red and blue waves so they would be absorbed by the green object. Therefore, in theory, a green object would appear neutral, virtually black. But this assumes that all the colors are very pure and perfectly balanced. This is unlikely, so the object would most likely look near neutral with some color skewing one way or another.
