Which color of light is reflected by a red object?

Which color of light is reflected by a red object?

If the color of a surface is anything other than white, it means that it absorbs light of some wavelengths. For example, a surface that appears red absorbs yellow, green, blue and violet light, while reflecting red light. A surface that appears green absorbs all colors except green.

What color does red reflect?

Red objects reflect red light, green objects reflect green light, and so on. But what happens to the rest of the colors that hit that object? They get absorbed! If you have a red object, all the orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet light gets absorbed into that object.

Do red objects transmit red light?

Explanation: Whether an object appears transparent or not, any ‘color’ we see is the result of the corresponding wavelength reaching our eyes. Thus, a “red” object is absorbing all other wavelengths, and reflecting or allowing to pass through only the red wavelength.

What colors are transmitted by red?

An ideal red filter transmits only red light and absorbs all other colors. In this ideal case, a picture containing red, green, and blue would appear red and black when viewed through a red filter. A red filter blocks green light and blue light: Only red light can get through to your eyes.
