Solution

  1. A green leaf will appear black in red light.
  2. A green leaf will appear in green because it will reflect only green light.
  3. When the green leaf is placed in red light, the leaf absorbs red light.
  4. And the red light absorbs the green light reflected from the leaf.
  5. So, no reflected light is there to reach our eyes.
  6. If No light is reflected from an object it will appear black.
  7. A green leaf will appear black in red light.
