What happens to the colors in white light if it shines through a blue filter?

When white light passes through a blue filter, the filter absorbs most of the colors in the white light spectrum and only allows blue light to pass through. As a result, the white light will appear blue after passing through the filter.


When white light goes into a blue filter blue light comes out. How did the blue get into the light?

A blue filter works by selectively absorbing other colors present in the white light and transmitting the blue light. The filter contains molecules that can absorb certain wavelengths of light, allowing only blue light to pass through.


What color would white light appear viewed through filter?

It depends on what kind of filter, e.g. a blue filter absorbs everything except blue light, so only blue light comes out, which is why the filter looks blue, and is referred to as a "blue filter".


What color would white light appear viewed through red filter and pure blue?

Red or blue. The reason a red filter looks and is red, is because only red light comes through it, and the same can be said about a blue filter allowing only blue light through. Other colors are absorbed by the dyes in the filter. If white light enters a red filter, then red light comes out, and the same goes for blue.


Will a Red light going through a green and blue filter make white?

No, using a red light with green and blue filters will not make white light. White light is a combination of all visible colors, so you would need to use all three primary colors (red, green, and blue) together to create white light.

What color will the shirt appear to be but white shirt is viewed through a filter that allows only blue light to pass through the filter?

Since the filter allows only blue light to pass through, anything you see through the filter appears either blue or black. Blue if there's any blue light coming from it, or black if there isn't any.


What would you see if you passed white light through blue and then red filters?

If you pass white light through a blue filter, only the blue wavelengths will pass through, resulting in a blue light. If you then pass this blue light through a red filter, none of the blue light will pass through, and you would not see anything as there would be no red wavelengths to transmit.


Why is blue seen if you shine a white light with a red filter over it?

A red filter absorbs most of the colors in white light except red. When white light passes through the red filter, the red component is transmitted, while the other colors are absorbed. Since white light is a combination of all colors, the remaining light appears blue to our eyes due to the absence of red and the dominance of blue in the filtered light.


What colour filter if blue object to look black?

A yellow filter would absorb blue light, making a blue object appear black in a black-and-white photograph.


What does a blue filter do to blue light?

Blue light will simply pass through a blue filter, as the filter will only absorb colours which are not blue (red and green).


What happens blue light passes through a blue filter?

If blue light passes through a blue filter, the light will be transmitted through the filter because the filter is designed to allow blue light to pass through while absorbing other colors of light. The blue filter selectively transmits blue light and blocks other colors of light.


What would you see if you pass white light through blue and then red filters?

In a real case the blue filter will pass a little red and the red filter would pass a little of blue, so you'd see a faint purple light.The blue filter will remove all the frequencies except blue. The red filter will remove all the colors except red. So it removes the blue, leaving nothing.Filters are seldom that good. Most filters have a curved response with maximum filtering at one color and less filtering on other colors.
