A green filter selectively transmits green light while absorbing other wavelengths. When white light passes through a green filter, it removes the red, blue, and other colors, resulting in light that appears green. This process allows only the green portion of the spectrum to pass through, creating the effect of colored light.

If white light were shone through a green filter which light would pass through the filter?

Only the green portion of the white light would pass through the green filter. The filter absorbs all colors except green, allowing only green light to pass through.


I look at a lamp through a green filter. The lamp gives out white light but I see green why is this possible?

White light is actually composed of red, green, and blue in approximately equal proportions. A green filter allows the green light to pass through it, while absorbing red and blue wavelengths. Hence you seen green. You'll also notice that the intensity of the light is reduced when viewed through the filter because of the abroption of the other colors.


Why is it that no light reached the screen when a boy used white light from a spotlight and slotted a red filter and a green filter in front of it.?

When the boy used white light and placed a red filter in front of it, the filter absorbed all the colors of light except red, allowing only red light to pass through. Similarly, when he placed a green filter, it absorbed all colors except green. Since white light is a combination of all colors, the red and green filters absorbed all the light, hence no light reached the screen.


Will a Red light going through a green and blue filter make white?

No, using a red light with green and blue filters will not make white light. White light is a combination of all visible colors, so you would need to use all three primary colors (red, green, and blue) together to create white light.


What color would a white shirt appear to be if light reflected from the shirt passed through a red filter and then through a green filter?

If light reflected from a white shirt passed through a red filter and then a green filter, the shirt would appear black. This is because red and green filters would absorb most of the colors from the white light, leaving very little to pass through. White light contains all colors of the spectrum, so when most of it is absorbed by the filters, the resulting color appears black.


What color appears on a white wall when a cyan light is shown through a magenta filter?

green


What happens to green light if it passes through a cyan filter?

If green light passes through a cyan filter, the filter will absorb some of the green light and allow the rest to pass through. The transmitted light will appear as a slightly dimmed green color due to the absorption of some of the green wavelengths by the filter.


What color of light is produced when red light is added to green light?

The red light is absorbed by the green filter and therefore no light passes through the filter


When red light passes through a green filter no light gets through What happens to it?

When red light passes through a green filter, the filter absorbs the red light because it is not the same wavelength as the green light the filter is designed to transmit. The green filter only allows green light to pass through while absorbing or blocking other colors like red.


How do disco lights work?

They have color filters. A red filter, for example, transmits only red light that is emitted from the white light bulb. (White light is a combination of all colors of light) A green disco light has a green screen/filter that only lets through the green light photons form the white light. So, your eyes only see the green or the red wavelengths.


If you look through a red filter at a sheet of green paper that is in white light what will you see?

The paper appears black. -- The paper is called "green" because it absorbs any light that isn't green, and reflects only green light to the observer. -- The filter is called "red" because it absorbs any light that isn't red, and transmits only red light through to the other side. -- There's no red light shining from the paper into the filter, so there's no light leaving the filter. The paper appears black.


How can you filter out only green light?

you use a green filter in front of the light and you should just get green light passing through as all the other colours are absorbed by the filter. the filter would just be a sort of plastic thing which is green in colour :)
