Why does a blue object illuminated by white light appear to be blue?
All other colours are absorbed by the blue object only letting the blue light be reflected or through
What color is an object when it reflects blue?
Assuming that the light you are shining on the object is white, then the object is also blue. Objects appear a certain color because they reflect that color to our eyes and the rest of the colors in the light are absorbed by the object.
If you shine a blue light on a blue object what color will the object turn?
The object will appear to be blue. However, the object would be indistinguishable from an object that reflects all colors of light. If yellow light were shone on an object that reflects only blue wavelengths, the object would appear to be black.
What happens when white light strikes a red opaque object. What about blue light. red light. violet light?
When white light strikes a red object, the object would appear red. The object would have reflected the red light within the white light while all other colours would have been absorbed. When blue light strikes a red object, it would appear black as there is no red light in blue light as it is a primary colour. As a result, the blue light would be completely absorbed by the red object. So no light would be reflected from the object. When violet light strikes a red object, it would appear red, as violet is a combination of blue and red light. The blue light would be absorbed while the red light would be reflected. It is good to learn and revise the light spectrum and primary and secondary light colours. Primary light colours are: Red, Green and Blue Secondary light colours are: Yellow, Cyan and Violet The combinations are: Red + Green = Yellow Green + Blue = Cyan Blue + Red = Violet (or Magenta depending on how you have been taught)
What causes an object to appear green?
The answer to this is due to Chlorophyll and the electromagnetic spectrum of colour.

What color will a white object be under a blue light?
A white object under a blue light will appear blue. However, your brain knows that the light is blue, and takes that into account when interpreting the scene. You'll probably still "know" the object is white. It's possible for stage technicians to take advantage of this and make you think that blue objects are white, by lighting them with blue light. (This is more common with red and green: lighting a green object with green light makes you think it's white; lighting it with red light will make it look black instead. This is a way to suddenly reveal figures that had previously been hidden on stage.)
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.
How do colored objects look under colored lights?
If the light is or contains the colour the object it is striking, then the object will appear to be the colour it originally is. If the light is not or does not contain the colour the object it is striking, then object will appear black. This is because an object will only reflect the light that is the same colour as it, all other light is absorbed. For example: Red, yellow, magenta, and white light will make a red object appear red as they all contain red light. Blue, green and cyan light will make a red object appear black.
What colour will blue be in a green light?
Blue what ? ! ? Do you mean an object that appears blue in white light ? Such an object appears black in green light.
What happens when the sun shines on a white surface?
The light from the sun, which is made up of equal parts of red, green and blue (even though it may not look it), will be reflected off of the white surface, staying white as the white surface reflects equal parts of red, green and blue.
What colour is a blue object when white light shines on it?
blue
Why does a white object look white in white light?
The object has absorbed light in the whole visible spectrum. For example, an object appearing blue in the white light has absorbed red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet; but the blue light is reflected to your eyes. ==========================================
