Sam is wearing a white shirt a red jacket and green trousers to a night club what will his clothes look like in a red spotlight?

Under a red spotlight, his jacket will not show up because it is red. His white shirt will appear red and his green trousers will appear black. This is because The red jacket is the same color as the light. His white shirt will turn red, since white reflects all colors, and since red is the only color, the white shirt reflects that color. His green trousers will appear black because there is no green that reflects off his trousers.

What colour would a red shirt appear when exposed to white light?

A white shirt is, basically, reflecting all colours of the electromagnetic spectrum which it is exposed to. So for white light it is reflecting red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. If you only expose it to red light (with a wavelength of ~650nm), it will reflect only that light. Therefore, the white shirt will appear red.
