Why do you call it a "white object" ? Could it be because it looks white under white light ...

light composed of every color ? Well then, the object must reflect every color.

So it appears to be the color of whatever light you illuminate it with. Yellow under

yellow light, etc.

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.


How do colored objects look under colored lights?

If the light is or contains the colour the object it is striking, then the object will appear to be the colour it originally is. If the light is not or does not contain the colour the object it is striking, then object will appear black. This is because an object will only reflect the light that is the same colour as it, all other light is absorbed. For example: Red, yellow, magenta, and white light will make a red object appear red as they all contain red light. Blue, green and cyan light will make a red object appear black.


Why an object which appears yellow in daylight appears red when illuminated with magenta light?

The object absorbs all colors except yellow in daylight, reflecting yellow light. When illuminated with magenta light, the object absorbs magenta light and reflects red light due to the mixing of magenta and yellow light together. This causes the object to appear red under magenta 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 a black object look like under a yellow light?

The reason a black object is described as "a black object" is becasuse even under white light, where every color is available, the thing absorbs all of them, and doesn't reflect any color. Illuminating it with light of only a single color isn't going to change that. It'll still appear black.


What colour will an object appear to be under white light if it absorbs all the colours of light?

If an object absorbs all colors of light and reflects none, it will appear black under white light. This is because black is the absence of any reflected light.


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 an object appear to be under White light if it reflects all the colours of life?

The object will appear white under white light if it reflects all the colors of light. This is because white light is a combination of all visible colors in the spectrum.
