If you shine a yellow light on a white surface why does the surface look yellow instead of white?

When a yellow light is shone on a white surface, the surface reflects mostly yellow light and absorbs other colors. This makes the surface appear yellow because it is reflecting predominantly yellow light back to our eyes, giving the illusion of a yellow color instead of white.

Why the vehicle moving in fog use yellow headlights?

Fog is white, so really you could use any colour headlamp instead of white and be able to see better than using the normal white headlamps. It has to do with the light bouncing around and into and through the fog. Yellow is easier to see and easier on the eyes than, say, red or blue or green. Does that help you?

Why are car number plates white at the front and yellow at the back in the uk.?

Reflective number plates were introduced to the UK in the late 60's early 70's The reasoning behind the white/yellow colouring is so that you could tell which way a vehicle was facing, in poorly lit areas. White, it was coming towards you, yellow it was facing away from you.

What are the colors of Toyota Echo stereo wires?

There are three plugs in the back of an Echo radio. Before I blew the fuse, this is what I had figured out. The black one, of course, is the antenna. The other two plugs are white(5 wires) and blue(8 wires). The white plug is mainly speaker wires. The blue plug has speaker wires and the power and ground wires. White plug: Black and Gold wires --- right speaker(not sure front or back) Red and White wires --- left speaker(not sure front or back) (Not sure about the white/green striped wire) Blue plug: Purple and Pink wires --- speaker(not sure L or R, front or back) Green and teal wires --- speaker(not sure L or R, front or back) (Not sure about the green wire) Power in blue plug: Grey wire --- Main power(thru ignition) Teal/yellow striped wire --- Accesary power(constant for stations or clock, etc...) White/black striped wire --- Ground That's the wiring, now if anyone can tell me where the fuse is, I would be ever so appreciative. White Plug: Black and yellow wires are left rear speaker, red and white are right rear speaker, green and white are part of the interior lights system.(I recommend not touching thoughs as it will break the circuit and the interior dash lights won't work at all) Blue Plug: green and blue are left front speaker, pink and violet are left front tweeter speaker (on 6 speaker systems), then the other two blue and green, one is right front and the other is right front tweeter speaker (on six speaker system.
