A piece of cloth appears red under red light and green under green light....?

Question

and blue under blue light, what color is the cloth? why cant it be any other color?

2. A person tells you that 2 organisms belong tp the same family but to different classes. Can that information be right?

Answer 1

1) White--it reflects all light.

2) No. A family is a smaller taxonomical unit than a class.

Here are the groupings from big to small

Domain
Kingdom
Phylum (animals or plants) or Division (plants)
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
Subspecies

Answer 2

The colour of the cloth would most likely be white as white substances reflect all frequencies of light and thus all colours. Bearing this in mind, the colours reflected back into our eyes would depend upon the colour of the light directed towards the substance. If yellow light was directed yellow light would be reflect. If blue light was directed blue light would be reflected and so on...

If it was any other colour then not all of the colours of the light mentioned in the question would be seen. For instance, green light directed towards a blue substance will not give a definite blue colour and yellow light directed towards a red substance will rarely give any colour at all.

Thus, it must be white.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

For the cloth question:the color of the cloth is white. This is because the color white does not absorb any of the light. All of it is reflected right back at your eye, making it appear green, red, or blue.

For the organisms, i'll say yes. A family can be broken up into branches of classes.

Answer 4

it is white. a chew of crimson textile, we call it 'crimson' as a results of fact it absorbs blue and green mild and reflects purely crimson mild. So below a white mild it would look crimson as a results of fact it is purely reflecting crimson mild. below a blue or green mild it would look black! A white textile reflects all colorings, so it is going to replicate any color you shine on it, and look as though that color.

Answer 5

It's white.

As for the second...I'll take a stab and say "yes"...
