What else can I help you with?
Leaves appear green because the green protion of the light that strikes them is what?
Reflected. The other colors of the light spectrum are absorbed. In fact, this is how all 'color' works - whatever the object. A red ball, a white shirt, etc. The color you see is the color being reflected back at your eyes, while the other colors are absorbed by the object.
What color does a green leaf appear to be in red light?
Black, obviously. The reason green leaves appear green is because when placed in white light, the leaf absorbs all the colors of the spectrum and reflects only green light. However, in red light, the leaf absorbs the red light but is unable to reflect any green light because there is no green to reflect. So, it appears black. Try watching green plants at night (or very low light conditions). That should give you a practical proof of the fact mentioned above.
