Spectrum of Visible Light Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Red Photon Wavelengths & Photons Particles of light, called photons, each have a wavelength. Yellow Photon Green Photon Blue Photon Prism Spectrum Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Newton’s Color Wheel Prism spectrum is a straight line, so why did Isaac Newton describe color using a circular wheel? Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Not in the spectrum. How do we see these? Spectral Colors Additive Color Wheel R M Y Red Yellow Green Cyan Blue Magenta G B C Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Adding Colored Lights Stream of red & green photons looks same as yellow photons (metamerism) YELLOW Eye to Brain or Notice overlap of red, green, & blue is seen as white light Theatrical lighting Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Demo: Seeing Yellow Sodium lamps emit yellow photons Color monitor can only emit red, green, and blue (RGB); creates other colors by selectively turning RGB pixels on or off. Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU

Simple Trichromatic Theory Yellow & Red photons excite me Yellow, Green & Cyan photons excite me Cyan & Blue photons excite me MOE LARRY CURLY Inside your eye there are three receptors Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Trichromatic: Seeing Yellow Yellow & Red photons excite me. I’M EXCITED Yellow, Green & Cyan photons excite me. I’M EXCITED Cyan & Blue photons excite me. Yawn. CURLY MOE LARRY Yellow seen when Curly and Larry excited, either by yellow photons or red & green photons. Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Trichromatic: Seeing Magenta Yellow & Red photons excite me. I’M EXCITED Cyan & Blue photons excite me. I’M EXCITED Yellow, Green & Cyan photons excite me. Yawn. CURLY MOE LARRY Magenta is seen by eye when Moe and Larry excited, which no single type of photon can achieve. Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Demo: Maxwell Color Disk Disk painted half red, half blue looks magenta when rapidly spinning. Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Mixing Blue & Red Paint Mixing paint or ink is different from adding colors together by light. Mix of blue and red paint produces a blackish brown Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Trichromatic: Seeing White Yellow & Red photons excite me. I’M EXCITED Cyan & Blue photons excite me. I’M EXCITED Yellow, Green & Cyan photons excite me. I’M EXCITED CURLY MOE LARRY White seen when all three very excited Gray seen when all three less excited Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Trichromatic: Color Blindness Red , Yellow, Green & Cyan photons excite me. I’M EXCITED Cyan & Blue photons excite me. Yawn. Color blindness occurs if the eye is missing one of the three receptors. Other receptors try to compensate but cannot distinguish some colors. CURLY MOE LARRY Do I see red or green? Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Color Blindness Weakness or absence of one of the three types of cones is the cause of color blindness, leading to a reduced ability to distinguish colors. 29 or 70? 21 or 74? Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
I’M EXCITED! Yawn. Yawn. Then stare at WHITE MOE LARRY CURLY Me too, but tired. I’M EXCITED! ME TOO! First stare at RED MOE LARRY CURLY Trichromatic: After-Image Moe and Curly are excited so what color is seen? CYAN (light blue-green) Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Negative After-image Stare, unfocused, at the red cross for 10 seconds then look at white wall Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU

Color Vision in the Eye Three types of cones (color) One type of rod (B/W only) Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
CIE Hue-Saturation Diagram Eye is not a perfect optical instrument. Color “wheel” is actually distorted cone shape. Rim is full saturation, center is white CURLY % 50% Larry 50% Curly 0% Moe 33% Larry 33% Curly 33% Moe LARRY % Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Spectral Reflectance Curves White Red When white light shines on an object, some photons absorbed, others reflected by the object’s surface. Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU

BLUE GREENRED 100% 0% Name That Color BLUE GREENRED BLUE GREENRED Bluish Green Bright Yellow Blue (Cobalt) Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Subtractive Color Absorbing filters or absorbing pigments remove colors from white light. Check Yourself: Yellow = Red + Green Cyan = Blue + Green Yellow & Cyan filters (or pigments) combine to give … Overlapping color filters Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Check Yourself A soap film absorbs red, green, or blue light, depending on the film’s thickness. What colors do we see where red is removed? Where green is removed? Where blue is removed? Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
