A red object would appear dark or black in green light because red objects reflect red light and absorb green light. Consequently, there would be little to no red light reflecting off the object in green light, resulting in a lack of color perception.

What will a red object look like in a green light?

A red object will appear dark or black in a green light because red objects absorb green light instead of reflecting it. This phenomenon occurs because the color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects.


What color will a red object look through a green filter?

It will look black, or green, depending on the hue of the red. A green filter blocks the red light but no red object is reflecting solely in the red wavelengths, and any non-red light will appear green through the filter.


What colour would a red object seem to look like if you only shined green light on it?

The object would be black, because red cannot reflect green light so no colour is reflected of the object.


What colour will a yellow object look in red light and why?

It will look red. White light is made up of a spectrum of many colours. The primary colours are red, green and blue. An object (in white light) appears yellow because it reflects red and green light but absorbs blue light. In red light, the same object will simply reflect the red light. Since there is no green light, the object will appear red. (A mixture of red and green gives yellow)


A magenta light shone on a yellow object?

The magenta light interacts with the yellow object through a process called subtractive color mixing. The magenta light absorbs green light and reflects red and blue light. When red and blue light are mixed with the yellow object, it produces an orange hue due to the combination of red and green light.

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.


Is it true under green light a red object appears blue?

No, under green light a red object will still appear red. This is because the color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects, and green light does not change the wavelengths that a red object reflects.


What colour would a green object look under a red light and why?

A green object would look blaack in a red light because coloured objects absorb all colours except the colour they are, so a green object absorbs 6 colours (red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet) and reflects 1 (green). In this situation, there is no green light to reflect and it can't reflect other colours, so it looks black. :)


What color is a green object if red light strikes it?

The green object will appear black because red light is absorbed by green objects.


If a red light is shone on a green object what would the colour be?

The red light would be absorbed by the green object and the object would appear dark. The green object reflects green light and absorbs other colors.


What colour is a red object in green light?

A red object appears dark and almost black in green light because red objects absorb green light and do not reflect any light back to our eyes.


If an object reflects red and green light what color will it look to your eyes?
