Questions AND answers 15



1.       what color results when red is subtracted from white light?

when red is subtracted from  white light the color that will result is cyan,  when you combine three primary colors of red, blue and green it gives whites, and when you combine green and blue it gives cyan. also when you  shine green and blue on a white object it reflect cyan.
 this clearly shows ; a white light without red is cyan or in a plain terms when you subtract red from white you get cyan.

2.       when something is painted red, what color is most absorbed?
when something is painted red, simply it appears red, the color most observe are all other six colors of light  except red, object absorbed their complimentary colors while reflecting their colors, therefore red will absorb , blue, green, orange, indigo and violet.
3.       which warms more quickly in sunlight - a colorless or a colored piece of glass? why?
a colorless glass, a colorless glass will absorb all colors of light while a  colored glass will reflect one color.
 a colored piece glass  is either blue, green, cyan etc.  when light fall on green glass all other colors are absorbed except the green color, likewise cyan or orange color glasses, they only reflect their respective colors. while a colorless glass will absorb all colors of white light falling on it since it no color . all object reflect their respective colors while absorbing their complimentary colors.
 therefore the colorless glass will absorb more light than the colored glass.
4.       what color light is transmitted through a piece of red glass?
the colors of light transmitted through a piece of red glass are all complimentary colors of red in the visible light spectrums, any other color apart from red will be transmitted through the red glass. only the red light will be absorbed. object reflect their respective clors but absorb any other color.

5.       what color results when blue is subtracted from white light?
when blue is subtracted from  white light the color that will result is yellow,  when you combine three primary colors of blue, blue and green it gives whites, and when you combine green and blue it gives yellow. also when you  shine green and blue on a white object it reflect yellow.
 this clearly shows ; a white light without blue is yellow or in a plain terms when you subtract blue from white you get yellow.

6.       "how and why do objects appear different in coloured light"
colors of object are the colors of white light they reflect, when a white light fall a blue object al other color is absorb while the blue part of the light is reflected and the object depict that color.
object appear differently in coloured object because of color combination, when blue light  fall on green object it appears cyan because the blue light from the object combine with the  green light we apply( remember the green color is part of white light reflected by the object) and vice versa .  when red light fall on green object, the green and red combine to form yellow  ( remember the green on the object is part of the white light reflected by the object) and vice versa.
therefore object under white light depict the color they reflect while object under colored light depict the color they combine with.
