Why do red object's look black in blue light?
Red and blue are primary colours therefore they do not contain any other colour. When a blue light is shone onto a red object, all the blue light is absorbed by the red object, and as no red light is being shone for the red object to reflect, no light will be reflected from it and it will appear to be black. It is important to remember that physical colours will only reflect it's light colour equivalent. All other colours are absorbed. So red will reflect red, green will reflect green, and red will absorb green and so on.
Why does a green object look black in red light?
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.
If you shine a blue light on a blue object what color will the object turn?
The object will appear to be blue. However, the object would be indistinguishable from an object that reflects all colors of light. If yellow light were shone on an object that reflects only blue wavelengths, the object would appear to be black.
What color object would reflect more light?
A white object would reflect more light compared to a black object. White objects reflect most of the wavelengths of visible light, making them appear brighter, while black objects absorb most of the light, appearing darker.
What color would a red object appear to be if you shone only green light on it?
The red object would appear black because it would not reflect any of the green light shining on it. Green light is the complementary color of red, meaning the object would absorb all the green light and not reflect any color back to our eyes.

What materials only absorb and reflect light?
Opaque

What proportion of men and women are colorer?
Coloured implies that the skins of these people would absorb some colours from light and reflect others. A non coloured person would have skin like a mirror. There are only coloured people in the world.
What color would a red object appear to be if you shone only green light on it?
The red object would appear black because it would not reflect any of the green light shining on it. Green light is the complementary color of red, meaning the object would absorb all the green light and not reflect any color back to our eyes.
What gives an object its color?
light that is reflected is what our eyes see. light is made up of all the colours of the spectrum. each 'colour' has its own wavelength say for example a pear, which is green. we see green because the object has absorbed all the other 'colours' and has reflected only the green colour wavelength, which reaches our eye colour receptors and we see green
What happens when a white light stikes a red object what happens?
When white light strikes a red object, the object absorbs most colors of the light spectrum but reflects the red wavelengths. This is because objects appear a certain color due to the specific wavelengths of light they reflect.
What would a red object look like shone onto a blue light?
Red and blue are at opposite ends of the visible light spectrum, red being of low frequency, and blue being of high frequency. Sunlight contains frequencies across the whole frequency range, which appears white. An object that appears white reflects all frequencies. A red object appears red because it reflects red (low frequency) light, and absorbs all other colours. Blue light contains only high frequencies. If you are in a darkened room, lit only by blue light, white objects will appear blue because they are reflecting the blue light, and no other frequency is available. But a red object absorbs high-frequency (blue) light, and since this is the only light in the room, it does not reflect any light. Objects that do not reflect any light appear black. Some objects appear black even in sunlight, because they absorb all frequencies and do not reflect any. So to answer the question, when you have a red object that is lit only by blue light, it will appear black.
For an object to appear red what must the object do to red light waves?
For an object to appear red, it must absorb all other colors of light and reflect red light waves. The object's surface reflects only the red light waves, while absorbing all other colors. This selective reflection is what gives the object its red appearance.
What color does not absorb all wavelength of light?
Black is the only color that does absorb all wavelengths of light.White is the color that reflects all wavelengths of light.All other colors absorb only certain wavelengths of light and reflect the rest.
