Why does a leaf appear green?
because it contains a green pigment called chlorophyll
Why does a leaf look green?
Because of Chlorophyll (it is a green pigment). There are two types of chlorophyll in plants and algae. Both chlorophylls absorb green light (from the spectrum of light) poorly. So when white light shines on structures like leaves (which have chlorophyll), green light is transmitted and reflected and the structures appear green.
Why does a leaf appear green when a person looks at it?
The chlorophyll pigments absorb all wavelengths of light except in the green spectrum, which it reflects.
Why is the leaf is green?
Because a leaf normally has green pigment in it called chlorophyll. These pigments absorb all the spectrums of the light except for the green spectrum, which is why leafs appear green.

In which of these cases will a ripe banana appear black when illuminated with red yellow green or blue light?
A ripe banana will appear black when illuminated with red, green, or blue light, as these colors are absorbed by the banana's pigment. Only yellow light will be reflected, making the banana appear black under the other colors of light.
What colour will a cyan book illuminated with a blue light viewed through a green filter appear to be?

What color would a green object in green light?

What color would red cloth appear if it were illuminated by white light?
Red cloth illuminated by white light will reflect the red portion of the light spectrum, making it appear red.
What colour does red writing appear in green light?
Red writing appears dark or black in green light because red is the opposite colour of green on the colour wheel. When red light reflects off a surface illuminated by green light, the red wavelengths are absorbed by the green light, resulting in a darker appearance.
Why do red rose petals look black when you shine green light on them?

What color would red cloth appear if it were illuminated by red light light?
The red cloth would appear red when illuminated by red light. This is because the color of an object we see is the color of light that it reflects, and red cloth reflecting red light would retain its original red appearance.
Why does the color blue look green at a distance?
The way you see colors (or colours, if you prefer the British spelling) depends on the light at the moment. Blue objects may appear green or teal if the light that's cast upon them is yellow, for example, in a room illuminated by incandescent light bulbs. Those same blue objects may appear purple if the light has a red tint to it, for example at sunrise or sunset.
What color does a green leaf appear to be in red light?
Black, obviously. The reason green leaves appear green is because when placed in white light, the leaf absorbs all the colors of the spectrum and reflects only green light. However, in red light, the leaf absorbs the red light but is unable to reflect any green light because there is no green to reflect. So, it appears black. Try watching green plants at night (or very low light conditions). That should give you a practical proof of the fact mentioned above.
What color would a cucumber appear in green light white light and red light?
A cucumber would appear green in green light, white in white light, and dark in red light as it would absorb most of the red light.
