What color would you see if you shined a white light through a cyan acetate on a yellow patch of paint? Draw a diagram of the light from the source to your eye and explain your answer in terms of the reflection and absorption of the primary color components of light.
As the white light passes through the cyan acetate filter, red light gets filtered and only green and blue i.e., cyan colour falls on the yellow patch of paint.The primary colours RGB as it filters through the cyan filter, the R gets absorbed and only GB gets reflected from the filter which then passes on to the yello patch. When the cyan light falls on the yellow patch, it will be visible as a green patch. The mixing of cyan and yellow(which are both secondary colours) will result in green colour, which is a primary colour.
