the white light has many colours in it. this is called the spectrum. as the plant is green, it absorbs all the colours except green. green reflects off the plant, into our eyes and we see a green plant.
the same would work with any object that reflects its own colour and no more. white objects reflect all light and black objects reflect no light.
White light is made up of an array of different colours. When white light shines on a leaf, the leaf absorbs the colour red so blue and yello light are reflected back and into our eyes. As yellow and blue make green, we see the leaf as green.
When you illuminate a green object with white light, it appears green because
it absorbs the light of all other colors except green, and the green light is the only
light that remains to bounce off of the object toward your eyes.
If an object is white in sunlight it will be green in green light. A white object reflects all wavelengths (colors) of light that shine on it. If only green light shines on it, that color will be reflected and the object will look green.
While the ball would still be green it will appear black. Anything green absorbed all colours except green. The green light is reflected to your eyes which makes it look green. Thus in red light (with no green in it) the red will be absorbed and no green light can be reflected to your eyes so the ball will look black.
Green light - Green, White light - Green, Red light - Black
White Light is made of all the colours of the spectrum (rainbow). If we look at something, say, green (like grass) it looks green to us because the chlorophyll in the leaves absorbs all the sunlight that lands on it with the exception of green light which it reflects. Therefore this green light that reflects into our eyes makes us see the grass as green. White objects, however, absorb no light and reflect all the colours back to us. As all the colours together make white light, we see the object (in your case, a T shirt) as white.
It will look red. White light is made up of a spectrum of many colours. The primary colours are red, green and blue. An object (in white light) appears yellow because it reflects red and green light but absorbs blue light. In red light, the same object will simply reflect the red light. Since there is no green light, the object will appear red. (A mixture of red and green gives yellow)

The surface will look Red, because white reflects all colours and absorb none. If you hit a red light on, say, green then that would look black because green will absorb all the red but if it was a green light then it would look green. Every colour, except white, absorbs colours except itselves.
While the ball would still be green it will appear black. Anything green absorbed all colours except green. The green light is reflected to your eyes which makes it look green. Thus in red light (with no green in it) the red will be absorbed and no green light can be reflected to your eyes so the ball will look black.
White light is a mixture of many colors. If you see green when you look through a green glass, plastic, or whatever, it means that it lets the green light pass, other colors not.
Green light - Green, White light - Green, Red light - Black
You get light green.
A light green vicodin would look light green.

Magenta coloured light makes white light when mixed with green light
You have to mix white and green to get light green.
The light from the sun, which is made up of equal parts of red, green and blue (even though it may not look it), will be reflected off of the white surface, staying white as the white surface reflects equal parts of red, green and blue.
