What makes the sea look slightly green?

Algae or other small plant life that grows in the water can make the sea look green. These organisms are photosynthetic and so contain the green pigment chlorophyll.


What do you see when you look at a red tulip with green leaves under a green light?

The red tulip would appear darker, almost black, under the green light due to the color absorption properties. The green leaves would appear bright and vivid as they reflect the green light. The contrast between the red tulip and green leaves would be enhanced under the green light.


Why does chlorophyll makes a leave look green?

Chlorophyll, the pigment in leaves responsible for their green color, absorbs red and blue light for photosynthesis but reflects green light, giving leaves their green appearance. This means that the green wavelengths are not absorbed by chlorophyll and are instead reflected back to our eyes, making the leaves appear green to us.


What color doesn't chlorophyll absorb?

The color of anything is either the color of the light that is reflected from it, or the light that is transmitted through it. The other colors in white light are absorbed. So, since we see leaves as green whether in reflected light or when light shines through them, green is the color which is NOT absorbed.


What will a green t-shirt look like under a red light?

A green t-shirt will appear darker and less vibrant under a red light due to the way the human eye perceives color. The red light will make the green shirt appear more subdued as the red light will reflect off the green fabric and alter its appearance.

What colour would red green and white appear if a green light was shone at them?

While the ball would still be green it will appear black. Anything green absorbed all colours except green. The green light is reflected to your eyes which makes it look green. Thus in red light (with no green in it) the red will be absorbed and no green light can be reflected to your eyes so the ball will look black.


What gives producers there green color?

The chloroplasts in their cells contain chlorophyll pigments. These pigments absorb sunlight from all from all of the color spectrum except green. That light is used for photosynthesis and the green light is reflected back out and makes the plant look green.


Why is grass green in color?

All plants contain the molecule Chlorophyll which is used by most plants in the process of photosynthesis. This Chlorophyll molecule absorbs Red and Blue light to use the energy from these wavelengths leaving green light to be reflected. It is this reflected green light that makes the leaves of plants look green.

What would green look like under a green light?

Green objects under a green light would appear brighter and more vibrant as the green light would enhance the color by adding more green wavelengths to what is already there. The objects would likely blend in with the background if the light is the same shade of green.


What will a white shirt a red jacket and a green trousers look like in blue spotlight?

In a blue spotlight, the white shirt will appear slightly muted, taking on a cooler tone. The red jacket may transform into a darker, possibly purplish hue due to the blue light, while the green trousers could shift to a deeper or more subdued shade of green. Overall, the combination will create an interesting contrast, with the colors blending in unexpected ways under the blue illumination.

It reflects green light and absorbs the other visible wavelengths.


Why does a green t-shirt look green when viewed in white light?

White Light is made of all the colours of the spectrum (rainbow). If we look at something, say, green (like grass) it looks green to us because the chlorophyll in the leaves absorbs all the sunlight that lands on it with the exception of green light which it reflects. Therefore this green light that reflects into our eyes makes us see the grass as green. White objects, however, absorb no light and reflect all the colours back to us. As all the colours together make white light, we see the object (in your case, a T shirt) as white.
