A green ball appears green in white light because the ball reflects light in the green wavelength range and absorbs other wavelengths. White light contains all the different colors of the visible spectrum, so when it hits the green ball, only the green light is reflected back to our eyes.

What colour would red green and white appear if a green light was shone at them?

While the ball would still be green it will appear black. Anything green absorbed all colours except green. The green light is reflected to your eyes which makes it look green. Thus in red light (with no green in it) the red will be absorbed and no green light can be reflected to your eyes so the ball will look black.

Why does the white ball appear red when a white light is shone through a red filter?

When you see color, it is not due to the fact that a specific object is that color, but you are really seeing the light reflected off of the object. A green object reflects only green light, a purple object only reflects purple light. White is a special case, as it reflects all light that hits it. When you shine a white light, the light contains every color that the human eye can see. By using a red filter, you only allow red light to reach the ball. Since the ball reflects all light, it reflects the only light it recieves, red light. Therefore, you percieve the ball as being red.
