When a blue shirt is in red light only, it may appear very dark or nearly black because the red light does not contain the wavelengths needed to reflect the blue color of the shirt. Instead, the shirt will absorb most of the red light, causing it to appear dark.

When white light shines on Peter's shirt the shirt looks blue Why does the shirt look blue?

White light is made up of three colours; red, green and blue. If the shirt appears blue, then the shirt has absorbed any other colours (green and red) and reflected the blue, making the shirt appear blue. I hope this has helped :)


Why does a blue t shirt look blue in a white light?

A blue t-shirt appears blue in white light because it absorbs most colors of light in the visible spectrum and reflects back predominantly blue wavelengths. This means that the blue wavelengths are not absorbed by the dye in the fabric but instead are reflected off the fabric and into our eyes, making us perceive the t-shirt as blue.


Why does a red shirt look black in blue light?

Well, why do you call it a red shirt ? Could it be because it absorbs all colors of light except red, so that when white light shines on it, all colors except red soak into the shirt, and red is the only light left to travel from the shirt to your eye ? If that is so, then what happens if no red light shines on the shirt ? Is there any light left to travel to your eye ? No ? Well then, what color do you see if no light travels from the shirt to your eye ? I hope Socrates would be proud.

I am 16 years old around 5 foot 7 a slim build and fair skinned and am going to a wedding i want a navy pinstripe suit but not sure if it would suit me or what shirt and tie to wear with it?

Why wouldn't it suit you? Obviously a light coloured shirt is a must. You could try a white shirt with perhaps a pink tie or maybe even a navy tie that matches the suit. If you get the three together and look at them, you will know if they go or not. Of course, if you are flamboyant you can go crazy. I was thinking about a light blue shirt? Yes, a light blue shirt would go well, as long as it is a very light blue, almost like a pastel blue.


How a shirt can look green though the light falling on it contains red blue and green?

The shirt appears green because it absorbs red and blue light wavelengths, while reflecting the green wavelengths back to our eyes. Our eyes perceive the reflected green light and interpret it as the color green, even though the shirt is being illuminated by red, blue, and green light simultaneously. This phenomenon is due to the way colors are absorbed and reflected by the fabric of the shirt.
