For exactly the reason that you call it a "a green object". You describe it that way

because most of the time, when it's being illuminated by light of all colors, the only

color that it does NOT absorb, and that remains to bounce off of the object and be

seen by your eye, is the green. When there is no green light striking the object, it

can't reflect any light to your eye, and it appears black.

How does a red object look in green light?

A red object would appear dark or black in green light because red objects reflect red light and absorb green light. Consequently, there would be little to no red light reflecting off the object in green light, resulting in a lack of color perception.


What colour would a green object look under a red light and why?

A green object would look blaack in a red light because coloured objects absorb all colours except the colour they are, so a green object absorbs 6 colours (red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet) and reflects 1 (green). In this situation, there is no green light to reflect and it can't reflect other colours, so it looks black. :)


What would a green object look like shone onto a yellow light?

When shining a green object onto a yellow light, the green object would absorb most of the yellow light while reflecting the green wavelengths. This would make the green object appear even brighter and more vibrant due to the contrast created by the yellow light.

Well, the grapes, if in a black room, will absorb off any colours that are not its colour. So the answer would be black. The green grapes would turn black if a red light was shone upon them. ^ hope i have helped!


What color will a red object look through a green filter?

It will look black, or green, depending on the hue of the red. A green filter blocks the red light but no red object is reflecting solely in the red wavelengths, and any non-red light will appear green through the filter.


What would an objects colour be if it was green but you shone red light on to it?

A green object absorbs all light except green which is reflected by the pigment. White light is made up of all colors and all except green are absorbed; only green is reflected. If a red light is the only one illuminating a green shirt there is no green to reflect so the shirt will look black.


What colour will a Blue object appear if only Red light is shone on it?
