A colored filter absorbs certain wavelengths of light and only allows specific colors to pass through. The color of the filter determines which wavelengths are transmitted and which are absorbed. For example, a red filter absorbs blue and green light, allowing only red light to pass through.

What happens to light when it passes through a red filter?

After pure, white light passes through a red filter, all the other colors in the spectrum will flow out of the other side. My mistake, I had a faulty source. A red light filter will cause the image to appear as different shades of red. Since it is a red filter only red light can pass through. So you finish up with red light. Whether it is focussed to an image or not is of no consequence. As to different shades of red, you will get the shade of red that is passed by the filter.


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.


Why does a red filter tints the way it does?

A red filter appears red because it blocks out most of the colors of light except for red, allowing only red light to pass through. This selective filtering creates a red tint when looking through the filter, as only red light is transmitted while other colors are absorbed or blocked.


Does light go through glass or reflect?

Light can both go through and reflect off of glass. When light passes through glass, it is transmitting through the material. However, if the angle of incidence is steep, light can reflect off the surface of the glass.


Can flash light go through hematite?

No, hematite is opaque and does not allow light to pass through it.

When you go for trekking which coloured cap do you prefer to use?

we must prefer a white coloured cap (or any other light coloured) because it doesn't absorb heat and we feel cool


What colour does red appear when seen through a blue filter?

The reason we call a blue filter a "blue filter" is that it looks blue. The reason it looks blue is that blue light is the only kind of light that can go all the way through it. Any other color of light gets absorbed in the dyes between the layers of the filter, and never comes out the other side. If you shine red light at one side of a blue filter, the other side of the filter looks dark, as if nothing is shining through it. And if you look at a 'red' sweater through a blue filter, the sweater looks black.

Do coloured objects form coloured shadows?

Shadows are simply an area that does not get as much light as the areas around it. That being said, if the object is totally opaque (or you can't see through it), then the shadow will simply be darker (usually a shade of black) because of the lack of light. If the object is transparent, on the other hand, then what light does go through will tint the light that does find it's way through the object.


Why does clear glass warm up faster than coloured glass?

Clear glass warms up faster than colored glass because it allows more light and heat to pass through it. Colored glass absorbs some of the light and reflects or scatters it, reducing the amount of heat that is transmitted. This difference in absorption and transmission of light causes the clear glass to heat up more quickly.


Can oil go through a filter paper?

Yes. Oil can pass through filter paper sucsessfully.

How do air filters in vacuums work?

think of it as light penetrates glass, but air can't The filter permits air to go through, but not dirt and dust.


If red light was to shine through a green filter would it transmit through or be absorbed?

There are basically two different kinds of filters. The first kind belongs to the family of transition filters meaning that the only green light can come thought. The second one is absorption filter which passes everything though except the green light.
