-- The filter looks red because it absorbs all other colors of light, and only
the red light is left to pass through the filter and come out on the other side.
-- When the green light from the dots hits the red filter, it's absorbed in the
filter, and there's no light left to come out on the other side.
If you're looking through the filter at the dots, they look black.
