What colour would a white ball look like in yellow light?
Yellow as white objects reflect the whole visible light spectrum. So the white ball would reflect the yellow light.
What colour will a white object appear if only red light was shone on it?
Red. The colour of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects and absorbs, and a white object is one that reflects light across the visible spectrum. If only red light shines on it, it will reflect that light. In contrast, a black object appears black because it doesn't reflect any visible wavelengths, so would still appear black. Any object that doesn't reflect the wavelength of light you're using (eg blue objects) would also appear black because it isn't reflecting any light.
What colour does a white ball look in red light?
It would appear to be red because it can only reflect the red light.
Do only shiny objects reflect light?
No, everything that we can see (besides objects the produce light eg sun, light bulb) reflect light. If it didn't reflect light we would not be able to see it.
What colors of light are reflected by a opaque white object?
Since it appears green in white light, it reflects the green part of the spectrum, absorbing all the other colors. In red light, it would not reflect any color, thus appearing black. Opaque objects absorb some of the light, and reflect the rest.

What objects reflect lots of light?
Anything white, shiny, reflective... A mirror would probably be the most reflective.

What colour does a white ball look in red light?
It would appear to be red because it can only reflect the red light.
What happens to white objects when heat and light energy is transferred to it?
White objects reflect heat and light energy. For example if you live in a white house, the heat and light energy bounces off the surface of the house so you would feel cool.
How would red and green colour objects look like when viewed through Green light?
Green objects would appear green and red objects would appear very dark.
Do only shiny objects reflect light?
No, everything that we can see (besides objects the produce light eg sun, light bulb) reflect light. If it didn't reflect light we would not be able to see it.
Can watches reflect light?
Yes. Watches reflect light. If they did not they would either appear clear or completely black.
Does purple reflect light?
Yes, it does. If it didn't, it would appear black.

What are some objects that would reflect light well?
Glass, mirrors, magnifying glasses, polished metal, tin foil, white plastic, brass, copper, and pretty much anything shiny...
