Answer:

The other colors in the white light are absorbed by the filter.

Answer: If you pass white light through a red filter, then red light comes out the other side. This is because the red filter only allows red light through. The other colors (wavelengths) of the spectrum are absorbed. Similarly, a green filter only allows green light through.
