What is true is that the light has a green component. That's why it appears green. The green light can get through. There may have been another or other colors of light present when the light entered the filter, but because the filter is green, the other colors were absorbed. Remember, if an object is a given color, it is that color because it reflects that color and absorbs all others.

Why a green object appears black when viewed through a red filter?

A green object appears black when viewed through a red filter (here a red filter means red light) because green object can only reflect green color and absorb all the other colors so in the red light it will definitely appear black.


What happens when you pass a green filter through light?

When a green filter is passed through light, it selectively absorbs all colors of light except green. This means that only green light passes through the filter, while other colors are absorbed. The result is that the light appears green in color after passing through the filter.


When red light passes through a green filter no light gets through. What happens to it?

The green filter only allows green light to pass through, blocking all other colors of light, including red light. The red light is absorbed or reflected by the filter, resulting in no red light passing through.


How can you filter out only green light?

you use a green filter in front of the light and you should just get green light passing through as all the other colours are absorbed by the filter. the filter would just be a sort of plastic thing which is green in colour :)


What colour will a cyan book illuminated with a blue light viewed through a green filter appear to be?

A cyan colored surface will reflect any blue or green light that is incident. The green filter will remove all colors of light passing through it except green. The book is illuminated with only blue light. Draw your conclusion.

What does green filter do to white light?

A green filter selectively transmits green light while absorbing other wavelengths. When white light passes through a green filter, it removes the red, blue, and other colors, resulting in light that appears green. This process allows only the green portion of the spectrum to pass through, creating the effect of colored light.

If you look through a red filter at a sheet of green paper that is in white light what will you see?

The paper appears black. -- The paper is called "green" because it absorbs any light that isn't green, and reflects only green light to the observer. -- The filter is called "red" because it absorbs any light that isn't red, and transmits only red light through to the other side. -- There's no red light shining from the paper into the filter, so there's no light leaving the filter. The paper appears black.


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.


If white light were shone through a green filter which light would pass through the filter?

Only the green portion of the white light would pass through the green filter. The filter absorbs all colors except green, allowing only green light to pass through.


What happens to green light if it passes through a cyan filter?

If green light passes through a cyan filter, the filter will absorb some of the green light and allow the rest to pass through. The transmitted light will appear as a slightly dimmed green color due to the absorption of some of the green wavelengths by the filter.


I look at a lamp through a green filter. The lamp gives out white light but I see green why is this possible?

White light is actually composed of red, green, and blue in approximately equal proportions. A green filter allows the green light to pass through it, while absorbing red and blue wavelengths. Hence you seen green. You'll also notice that the intensity of the light is reduced when viewed through the filter because of the abroption of the other colors.
