1. Light and Color Differences between light and paint….. White: Absence of paint Mixture of all colors Black: Absence of light Mixture of all paint

2. Light and Color Things that happen to light….. Transmission Absorption Reflection *Mixtures

3. Light and Color Transmission Light passes straight through (no change) Examples Absorption Light absorbed (turn it into heat) Reflection Light is bounced off an object. Examples

4. Light and Color Mixtures of Absorption and Reflection When light hits an object, some light is…. – Reflected or re-emitted light, this we do see – Absorbed – never seen again

5. Possibilities when light hits a surface: All colors of light have a frequency and λ Objects absorb light w/ the same resonant frequencies (turns light waves into heat) Objects transmit any light that is not a resonant frequency, (gives the object its resulting color) Light and Color

6. Primary Colors of Light: Light and Color Primary Colors of Paint:

7. Light and Color Mixtures of Absorption and Reflection Black – all colors absorbed, nothing reflected White – all colors reflected, nothing absorbed

8. Color Addition of Light Mixing Colored Lights ≠ Mixing Colored Paints Red/Green Yellow Red/Blue Magenta Blue/Green Cyan/Teal Mixing Primary Light Colors
