The reason the filter appears yellow and is called a "yellow filter" is that only

yellow light survives the trip through the filter and lives to emerge from the

other side. If you don't hit it with yellow light, nothing comes out. If the light

hitting the filter is pure blue and nothing else, you'll see no light come out,

i.e. black.
