  2. Light and Pigments

  3. Light interacting with matter • When light hits matter, at least one of three things can happen: • Reflection • When light bounces off an object • Absorption • Transfer of light energy to matter • Makes things feel warmer • Transmission • Passing of light through matter

  4. What type of light interactions are taking place here?

  5. Three types of materials Opaque – matter that does not transmit any light (you can’t see through it) Translucent – matter that transmits light, but scatters it as well (you can only partially see through it) Transparent – matter through which light is easily transmitted (you can easily see through it)

  6. How do one-way mirrors work? • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kKL32opewI

  7. Where do colors come from? • Remember that we see different colors of light because light waves come in different wavelengths • The longest wavelengths of visible light is seen as red • The shortest wavelengths of visible light is seen as violet • The color an object appears is determined by which wavelengths of light are able to reach your eyes, either through reflection or transmission

  8. How does colorblindness work? • http://shows.howstuffworks.com/brainstuff/how-does-colorblindness-work-video.htm

  9. Color and opaque objects • The colors of light that are reflected by an opaque object determine the color you see White light (the combination of all colors of light) strikes this sweater. All colors of light, except blue, are absorbed by the sweater. Blue light is reflected, so it reaches your eye and you see a blue sweater

  10. What about black and white? • White objects are white because they reflect all colors of light • The presence of all light = white • Black objects are black because they absorb all colors of light • The absence of all light = black

  11. Mixing Light • You don’t have to mix all colors of light to get white light • You can just add red, blue and green light together • These are the primary colors of light • Combining colors of light is called color addition

  12. When you mix two primary colors of light, you get a secondary color (cyan, magenta or yellow)

  13. Thanks for the compliment • Complimentary colors are two colors that create white light when shining on a surface at the same time • Ex: blue and yellow • Why are these complimentary (why do they produce white light?) • What are other examples of complimentary colors?

  15. What is this??? • A close up of a tv screen • Tv screens are made up of little red, blue and green dots • When electrons hit them in certain combinations, you get the various colors on the screen

  16. Are paint and light the same thing? • Do you get white paint when you mix all of the other colors of paint? • No! so paint and light are not the same thing • Paint colors come from pigments (materials that give substances color by absorbing some colors and reflecting others

  17. The primary pigments are cyan, magenta and yellow • Every pigment absorbs at least one color of light • As you mix pigments, more colors of light are absorbed so mixing them is called color subtraction • What are the secondary pigments?
