No, red glass does not only reflect and transmit red light waves. It actually transmits the white light waves through the red glass creating a red glow. A transparent object generally transmits light while a solid object reflects light.

How do you know that most objects reflect more than on colour of light?

You can diffract the light reflect from the object and see what range of spectrum is absorbed and what is reflected. It is to mentioned, human had trichromatic vision. We base our vision of colour from the portion of red blue and green. The real colour in spectrum is however continue of colour from red to violet. By having only 1 colour of light reflect, the object had to specifically absorb exact the other 2 portion of light human can see which is extremely rare for natural objects without specific design to absorb light at exactly cover the other 2 spectrum human can see. So it is most objects would reflect more than one colour of light.


What colour will red boots look in red light?

They will look red. This is because red boots only reflect red light. If white light was shining on them then they would still appear red because the red light would be reflected into your eyes and the other colours from the spectrum would be absorbed. However, if, for example blue light was shining on them, they would look dark/black because there is no red light to reflect.


What colour will a yellow object appear if only Red light is shone on it?

The yellow object will appear dark because it reflects yellow light, which is a combination of red and green light. Since only red light is being shone on it, the object will not reflect any light and will appear black.


Why do red object's look black in blue light?

Red and blue are primary colours therefore they do not contain any other colour. When a blue light is shone onto a red object, all the blue light is absorbed by the red object, and as no red light is being shone for the red object to reflect, no light will be reflected from it and it will appear to be black. It is important to remember that physical colours will only reflect it's light colour equivalent. All other colours are absorbed. So red will reflect red, green will reflect green, and red will absorb green and so on.


What colour would a red object look under a red light?

The red object would appear red under a red light because objects primarily reflect the color of light that is shining on them. Since red light contains mainly red wavelengths, the object would still reflect red light and appear red.


An object appears blue when seen in white light What colour will appear in Red light?

The simple answer is black. However, this is true only if the colour of said object is pure blue; If it has even the slightest tinge of red in it, you will see a very dark shade of red.
