Chapter 16, Problem 66A

To determine

To explain:The process of making the blue pigmentfrom the given pigments.

Answer to Problem 66A

The cyan and magenta color pigments are mixed to produce blue pigments.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given pigments are yellow, cyan and magenta.

The color of an object is based on the wavelength absorbed by the object and the wavelength reflected by an object.

The white light is a combination of primary colors namely red, blue, and green. The color of the paint is white when it reflects all the white light (combination of red, blue, green light) and enters the eye of the person.

The primary color pigments are yellow, cyan, and magenta.

When the cyan and magenta is mixed and a white light falls on it. The magenta absorbs the green light and cyan absorbs the red light.

The only color is reflected by the mix is blue light which enters the human eye and the mix appears to be blue in color to the person.

Conclusion:

Thus, the cyan and magenta color pigments are mixed to produce blue pigments.
