Physics 2 HW 16-2A Color Answer the following: 1. Define: a. Primary Color- a color , as red, yellow, or blue, that in mixture yields other colors . b. Secondary Color- A color produced by mixing two additive primary colors in equal proportions. The secondary colors are cyan (a mixture of blue and green), magenta (a mixture of blue and red), and yellow (a mixture of green and red). c. Complementary Color- pairs of colors which, when combined or mixed, cancel each other out (lose hue) by producing a grayscale color like white or black. d. Primary Pigment- The primary colors of pigment are magenta, yellow, and cyan (commonly simplified as red, yellow, and blue). Pigments are chemicals that absorb selective wavelengths—they prevent certain wavelengths of light from being transmitted or reflected. e. Secondary Pigment- The secondary pigment colors are red, blue, and green —the same as the primary colors of light. 2. What causes a beam of white light to be spread into a spectrum of colors when the beam crosses into a glass prism? The refraction of light is the reason why a prism disperses white light forming a spectrum . Refraction occurs because light travels more slowly in a dense medium, such as glass , than it does in air. 3. What color of visible light has: a. The shortest wavelength- violet b. The longest wavelength- red

What is the difference between “color by addition” and “color by subtraction”? The process of color subtraction is a useful means of predicting the ultimate color appearance of an object if the color of the incident light and the pigments
