Question:

colors of LIGHT physics quesion?

A magenta object illuminated with green light appears.... A red object illuminated with green light appears.... A green object illuminated with cyan light appears.... A cyan object illuminated with magenta light appears.... A red object illuminated with magenta light appears.... A blue object illuminated with green light appears.... physics color question please answer only if you know

Answer:

i might say white.. through fact it would reflect the warmth from his physique.. white displays warmth while black absorbs it... after marathons unquestionably everyone seems to be given tin foil sheets to wrap around themselves, it relatively is through fact the warmth displays off the bright floor
what color will a green object look under a green light
Magenta = blue plus red. If only green light is shone on a magenta surfce no light is reflected. So it appears black / invisible. Red = reflects red only. In green light red objects appear black. Green in cyan: cyan is green plus blue. So there is green light to be reflected, so the green object appears green, its natural colour. Cyan reflects green and blue, if available. Magenta light is red and blue mixed. So only the blue light will be reflected and the object will appear blue. Red in magenta = red. Red and blue shone in. Blue absorbed, red reflected. Blue in green = dark / black. Nothing available to reflect, so black. If you get the chance: try this using coloured lights / filiters. The 'wrong' colour items really do vanish from view!
1) A magenta object illuminated with green light appears.... BLACK [magenta contains red and blue, the green light contains no red or blue] 2) A red object illuminated with green light appears.... BLACK 3) A green object illuminated with cyan light appears.... GREEN 4)A cyan object illuminated with magenta light appears.... BLUE 5)A red object illuminated with magenta light appears.... RED 6)A blue object illuminated with green light appears.... BLACK Explanation: Remember, you can only see the part of the colour that is present in the light you shine on an object AND is reflected by the object. Light can be composed of some or all of just three colours: red, green and blue. So, if you shine white light on a blue object, it looks blue, because the white light contains all colour frequencies and the blue object absorbs all other colours than the blue frequency, which it reflects and so blue light is the only colour that reaches your eye. If you shine a cyan light (which contains blue and green but not red) on a blue object then the object still looks blue, because the light you are shining on it contains blue and the object absorbs all frequencies but the blue, which it reflects to your eye. If you shine a green light (which contains green, but no blue or red) on a blue object, all frequencies but the blue are absorbed, and since there is no blue in the light you are shining on it, it looks black.
