Which colors reflect off a typical red apple?
A red apple looks red because it reflects the red portion of the spectrum while absorbing blue and green. A green apple reflects primarily green while absorbing red and blue.
When you observe a red apple what is happening to the white light that is hitting the apple?
In white light, a red apple absorbs all the colors (including green) of the spectrum except red, which it reflects. A green filter absorbs all the colors of the spectrum except green, which is transmitted through the filter (and comes through as green light).
Which color of light has the most energy?
violet
Why does mixing red green and blue light make white light?
If you mix red, green, and blue light, you get white light. This is additive color. As more colors are added, the result becomes lighter, heading towards white. RGB is used to generate color on a computer screen, a TV, and any colored electronic display device.
What color of light do you see when you mix blue and red lights?
magenta
What is a way that white light can be split into different colors?
White light is a mixture of all colors of light. This mixture can be split into different colors using a transparent block called a prism. Prisms are specially shaped so that light passing through them bends. Some colors bend more than others as they pass through the prism, so they split apart.
What makes red green and blue as the primary colors of light?
And the red and green also make a lighter color — and a surprise to nearly everyone who sees it – yellow! So red, green and blue are additive primaries because they can make all other colors, even yellow. When mixed together, red, green and blue lights make white light. Your computer screen and TV work this way….
What color of light do you see when you mix green and red lights?
You may have noticed that red and green lights mixed make yellow light. However, red and green paints (or pigments) mixed make brown paint. When we mix light beams (without absorbing) we are performing an additive process. The more we mix the light beams, the “closer” they get to being white light.
What are the three secondary colors of light?
Red, green, and blue are known as the primary colors of light. The combinations of two of the three primary colors of light produce the secondary colors of light. The secondary colors of light are cyan, magenta, and yellow.
What happens when you mix yellow and blue light?
So some people say yellow and blue make green. The figure below shows what happens when you mix an ideal yellow pigment with an ideal blue pigment. The blue dye reflects light perfectly in about a third of the spectrum (and absorbs perfectly in the other two thirds)
