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.

What color would a white shirt appear to be if light reflected from the shirt passed through a red filter and then through a green filter?

If light reflected from a white shirt passed through a red filter and then a green filter, the shirt would appear black. This is because red and green filters would absorb most of the colors from the white light, leaving very little to pass through. White light contains all colors of the spectrum, so when most of it is absorbed by the filters, the resulting color appears black.


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.


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 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.


How do filters affect the color of an object?

Coloured filters are sheets of plastic used to get colour away from white light. They work by letting some of the spectrum through and absorbing other parts of it. For example a red colour filter lets red light and some orange light pass through- it absorbs all other colours of the spectrum From Little miss me9087

What filters should be placed over white light to achieve yellow on the surface?

A yellow filter would be the most effective choice.


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 would be the result of shining light waves through two polarizing filters whose transmission axes are perpendicular to?

If you shine light waves through two polarizing filters whose transmission axes are perpendicular to each other, no light will pass through the second filter. The first filter will only allow light waves aligned with its transmission axis to pass through, and since the two axes are perpendicular, no light will be able to pass through the second filter.


What would you see when white light passes through purple then red filter?

When white light passes through a purple filter, the filter will absorb most colors of the white light except for purple, allowing only purple light to pass through. When this filtered purple light then passes through a red filter, the red filter will absorb all colors except for red, thus only allowing red light to pass through. Therefore, you would see red light.


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".
