If the light source is truly cyan, the red object should appear black. The object is red because it reflects the red portion of the white light spectrum. With no red wavelengths available to be reflected, the object will have a lack of color (i.e., black).

What are the 3 primary colors of light and all the colors of the rainbow?

The 3 primary colors of light are Red Blue GreenThe secondary colors are Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta The "primary colors" are red, blue, and green. Combining these colors can create any color or shade of light, and they are represented in video displays by individual color dots within each display pixel.The "primary colors of light" refer to the "colors of the rainbow", or spectrum, which are the individual wavelength ranges present in visible light.Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet (mnemonic acronym ROY G BIV ) (note indigo is not considered a scientific solitary color anymore, demoted kind of like the dwarf planet Pluto)In "subtractive coloration", dye colors are used that absorb one or more wavelengths of light, causing the reflected light to appear as a given color. These absorptive dyes are the colors cyan (bluish), magenta (reddish), and yellow. Along with black, they are ink colors in computer printing. (mnemonic CMYK for cyan, yellow, magenta, black)(* See the related question "what are the primary colors")FYI- The 3 Primary colors of PAINT- what we draw/color with are different-They are red, blue and yellow

What colour will a cyan object appear if only magenta light was shone on it?

A cyan object will appear black when only magenta light is shone on it. Cyan objects absorb magenta light, so no light is being reflected back to our eyes, causing the object to appear black.


What colour would a cyan object be when light is shined on it?

When light is shined on a cyan object, it will appear cyan as long as the light source contains both blue and green wavelengths, which are the colors that make up cyan. If the light is white, the cyan object will reflect the blue and green light and thus still appear cyan. However, if the light is only red, the cyan object will appear black because it cannot reflect that color.


When a blue light shines on green paper you see?

Cyan


What color will a cyan object look under red light?

A cyan object will appear black under red light because red light is absorbed by cyan objects. Cyan is a combination of green and blue light, so when only red light is present, there is no light for the cyan object to reflect or absorb.


What color is a green object under blue light?

It is either green because the colour of light above it is the only colour it allows through like in this case Green light only lets green through or it could be cyan as blue and green make cyan but i think it would be green


What colour is cyan?

In the colour circle, cyan is between blue and green. Turquoise and teal resemble cyan.


What colour does Blue and green light make?

You will get Cyan (light blue)


What color is a white object when red and cyan light shine on it?

The white object will appear red because all colors of light are absorbed by the object except for red and cyan. The red light is reflected to our eyes, resulting in the object appearing red.


Which colour is produced by adding together yellow and cyan?

Adding yellow and cyan creates the color green.


What color will magenta object look in cyan light?

In cyan light, the magenta object will appear dark because cyan light is the complementary color of magenta. Complementary colors absorb each other, resulting in a lack of reflection and therefore a dark appearance.


What colour will a blue t-shirt appear with a green filter?

cyan light


What color would you expect to see if you shine a white light through a cyan filter at a white object?

You would expect to see the object appear cyan in color because the cyan filter would absorb most of the colors in the white light spectrum except for shades of blue and green, which combine to create cyan.
