What a black object look like under a yellow light?

The reason a black object is described as "a black object" is becasuse even under white light, where every color is available, the thing absorbs all of them, and doesn't reflect any color. Illuminating it with light of only a single color isn't going to change that. It'll still appear black.


Does a black object appear white when viewed through a red lens?

No. When you're looking at a black object with the naked eye, it obviously appears as black. If you looked at the same object with any colored lens, the object would appear as the same color (with semi tint of the color of the lens. Due to the fact that colored things are darker than clear things, objects seen in colored vision will appear darker than in clear vision, further proving that a dark colored object will not appear lighter when observed through a colored lens. Hope this helped
