Even though youv'e given it the name "Yellow", the object is only yellow

when there's some yellow light shining on it. You see, it absorbs all other

colors of light, and only yellow light bounces off of it. That's why the light

from that object that enters your eye is yellow light, and that's why you

describe the object as looking "yellow".

If there's no yellow light shining on the object, it looks black.

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.


What colour would a blue object look like if a yellow light were shone on it?

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.


What colour would a yellow object look in blue light?

In blue light, a yellow object would appear dark or black because yellow absorbs blue light and reflects other colors. This means that the object wouldn't reflect any of the blue light, making it appear dark.


What will a yellow object look like when under a yellow light?

A yellow object under a yellow light will appear very bright and vibrant, as the object will reflect the light in a consistent color. This can potentially make it difficult to differentiate between the object and the surrounding light source.

What would a green object look like shone onto a yellow light?

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.

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

A green object would appear dark or almost black under yellow light. This is because yellow light consists of wavelengths that are primarily in the yellow part of the spectrum, and it does not contain much green light. Therefore, the green object would not reflect much light back to our eyes, resulting in its dark appearance.

What would a green object look like in a yellow light?

Dark green.A more descriptive answer:It depends on the exact spectra the light emits, not just what it looks to us.If the light combines red and green wavelengths, then the green object will appear green, because of the green wavelength. The object may have a yellowish tinge because of small reflection of the red wavelength.If the light is spectral yellow and not just red + green, then the green object will appear a much darker green maybe with a slight yellow or dark-yellow tinge because of, again, small reflection of dominant yellow wavelength.

What does green look like in yellow lights?

A green object is called "green" because that's the only color of light that it reflects to our eyes, while it absorbs any other light. If there's no green light shining on it, then there's nothing for it to reflect, and we would describe it as a "black" object under those conditions.


Why does a white object look white in white light?

The object has absorbed light in the whole visible spectrum. For example, an object appearing blue in the white light has absorbed red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet; but the blue light is reflected to your eyes. ==========================================

If object is white in sunlight what color will it be in green light?

If an object is white in sunlight it will be green in green light. A white object reflects all wavelengths (colors) of light that shine on it. If only green light shines on it, that color will be reflected and the object will look green.
