What happens to a red object when light is shone on to it?
When red light shines on a red object, the object will reflect the red light and appear red. If white light shines on a red object, the object will absorb all colors except red, which it will reflect, making it appear red as well.
For an object to appear red what must the object do to red light waves?
For an object to appear red, it must absorb all other colors of light and reflect red light waves. The object's surface reflects only the red light waves, while absorbing all other colors. This selective reflection is what gives the object its red appearance.
What colors of light does a transparent red object transmit and what color does it obsorb?
A transparent red object transmits red light and absorbs all other colors of light. This is because the object appears red when red light is transmitted through it, while all other colors are absorbed.
Why does a green object look black in red light?
For exactly the reason that you call it a "a green object". You describe it that way because most of the time, when it's being illuminated by light of all colors, the only color that it does NOT absorb, and that remains to bounce off of the object and be seen by your eye, is the green. When there is no green light striking the object, it can't reflect any light to your eye, and it appears black.
How can light make a red object look black?
When a red object is illuminated by red light, it can absorb all the red wavelengths and appear black, as there is no red light to reflect and the object appears dark. This phenomenon is called color subtraction.
What happens to a red object when light is shone on to it?
When red light shines on a red object, the object will reflect the red light and appear red. If white light shines on a red object, the object will absorb all colors except red, which it will reflect, making it appear red as well.
If an object transmits red light what colors does it absorb?
It absorbs all colors except red.

For an object to appear red, it must absorb all other colors of light and reflect red light waves. The object's surface reflects only the red light waves, while absorbing all other colors. This selective reflection is what gives the object its red appearance.
What color would a green object under red light?
It would be black becasue the object would absorb all the red light, and there would be no green light for it to reflect
What is the difference between red light and a red object?
Red object is one that absorb other range of spectrum but Red light.
What colors of light does a transparent red object transmit and what color does it obsorb?
A transparent red object transmits red light and absorbs all other colors of light. This is because the object appears red when red light is transmitted through it, while all other colors are absorbed.
If you shine a blue light on a red object what color will the object turn?
Believe it or not, the object will appear black! Here's why. An object is red because it absorbs all wavelengths of light except red. It reflects the red back to our eyes, so that's what color we perceive. If you, then, have no other light source and shine purely blue light on a red object, the object will absorb the blue light and you won't get any light reflected at all. In other words, black.
Why does a green object look black in red light?

Does a pure red paper appear black in pure blue light?
it should do objects absorb all light except light of the colour of the object if there is no light of that colour the object appears black
Do objects absorb all colors of light except for the color that it appears to be?
No, objects absorb some colors of light and reflect others. The color that an object appears to be is the color of light that it reflects. For example, a red apple looks red because it absorbs all colors of light except for red, which it reflects.
Does a red object absorb red light and reflects the other colours?
No. Just the opposite, actually.
