How is the color of light changed?

214 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

Last night I woke to go to the bathroom and used my phones light so that I wouldn’t wake my partner.

The light from my phone shone through a green glass bottle and lit the wall up green.

Are light particles uncolored and just affected by the colored glass or do they have properties that are changed?

White light is every color. A green bottle (or any colored object) absorbs every color of light except for green while the green part of the light is left to either bounce off the object or pass through it. So when your phone’s mostly-white light shines through the bottle, only green light is left to hit the wall, bounce off, and reach your eyes.
