it will look green
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.
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.
When a yellow ball is illuminated with magenta light, the magenta light is absorbed by the ball's surface. The remaining light that is reflected and reaches our eyes appears red because red is the complementary color of green, which is what yellow and magenta combined create. This phenomenon is known as color subtraction, where certain colors are absorbed and the remaining colors that are reflected create a different perceived color.
When lights of any two primary colors are shone on a white object, the object will appear to be a secondary color that is created by mixing those two primary colors together. For example, red and blue light will make the object appear purple, red and green light will appear yellow, and blue and green light will appear cyan.
It's called "A Blue Object" because when light of many colors falls on it, it reflects the blue light toward your eyes and absorbs all the other colors, including yellow. So if yellow light is the only light falling on it, the light is all absorbed, none is reflected to your eyes, and the object appears black.
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.

When shining a green object onto a yellow light, the green object would absorb most of the yellow light while reflecting the green wavelengths. This would make the green object appear even brighter and more vibrant due to the contrast created by the yellow light.

Black, because the blue light would be absorbed into the object's pigment and as there is no green light to reflect, the object would appear black.
The object would appear black because it would not reflect any of the blue light shining on it, and blue light alone cannot activate any yellow pigments to reflect back a different color.
It will appear somewhat Orange. This is due to the roughly 650nM wavelength from the red light and the reflection of the yellow at around 380nM.
