Lab Extension: The Prism Shine sunlight through the prism 50 cm off the ground on to a white sheet of paper placed on the ground. Shine sunlight through the prism 50 cm off the ground on to a white sheet of paper placed on the ground.

The Color Spectrum R – Red (longest wavelength / lowest frequency) O – Orange Y – Yellow G – Green B – Blue I – Indigo V – Violet (shortest wavelength / highest frequency)
White Light White Light: Is the combination of all of the colors of light (sunlight)
The Color Spectrum
Pigments Pigment: A material that selectively absorbs colors of light
Color by Transmission Some light is absorbed while other light is transmitted
Color Addition (Light) Primary colors Red, Blue, and Green Combining colors (adding the primaries together) Red + Green = Yellow Red + Blue = Magenta Blue + Green = Cyan Red + Green + Blue = White
Color Addition
Color Subtraction (Paints) Primary colors Yellow, Red (Magenta), Blue (Cyan) Combining colors (adding the primaries together) Yellow + Red = Orange Yellow + Blue = Green Blue + Red = Purple
Color Subtraction
Reflection White – reflects all light Black – absorbs all light
Color by Reflection
Illuminated with white light The object absorbs all of the colors and reflect only yellow or green
Addition and Subtraction
Light Scattering Light Scattering: the deflection of a light ray from a straight path (Rayleigh Scattering)
