  • I Am Fascinated by the Phenomenon of Color, And, More Specifically, How Individuals Perceive It Differently
    I am fascinated by the phenomenon of color, and, more specifically, how individuals perceive it differently. For the colorblind, color is merely various shades of grey with designated titles. To Synesthetes, color manifests as an association with words, letters, and sounds. This research led me to three-dimensional zoetropes, which animate stationary objects as you watch. This concept - what you think you see is not truly what you will see - fascinated me. The PVC pipes easily flow together, with only their interiors painted to represent how they may look different depending on what you choose to focus on, or what angle you are standing at. The figures sit on a wooden board moved by a turntable, proving the relativity of not only perception vs. reality, but of my perception vs. yours. We often rely too heavily on our observations, which are not fact. The zoetrope suggests that we may need to change the homogenous way we think about color. Increasingly, I found that color was less of a fact and more of an experience. Alexandra L. When we look at a rainbow, do we all see the same colors? No, because when humans look at it we see Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. But when colorblind people look at the rainbow, they see varying shades of gray that they’ve learned to assign ROYGBIV to. When a dog looks at a rainbow they only see green and blue. And when a mantis shrimp looks at it, they can see colors we don’t even have names for. This concept that we don’t see the “same” colors proves that my blue might be a pale variant of your blue, or might not even be blue at all but actually red, but I’ve learned that everyone else calls it “blue”.

  • The Relationship Between Wavelength and Frequency in the Electromagnetic Spectrum
    Name_______________________________________ The Relationship Between Wavelength and Frequency in the Electromagnetic Spectrum Purpose: To discover and verify the relationship between Wavelength and Frequency of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Background Information: Visible light is Electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths which the human eye can see. We perceive this radiation as colors ranging from red (longer wavelengths; ~ 700 nanometers) to violet (shorter wavelengths; ~400 nanometers.) The visible light from the Sun is actually composed of the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet, which can become distinguishable when sunlight passes through a prism. A good way to remember the order of the colors is to note that the first letters of the colors spell out the name ROY G. BV. We can think of light traveling in waves with properties of wavelength and frequency. Wavelength is the distance between identical locations on adjacent waves (see figure below). Frequency is the number of complete waves, or wavelengths, that pass a given point each second. All light travels at the same speed, but each color has a different wavelength and frequency. It is their different wavelengths that cause the different colors of light to separate and become visible when passing through a prism. Look at the illustration of the visible spectrum above. Can you guess which color has the longest wavelength? It's red! The wavelengths of the other colors decrease in order, with violet light having the shortest. Adapted from: http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/teachers/lessons/roygbiv/roygbiv.html Before you start: Summarize the graphic on the electromagnetic spectrum shown below. Think about the relationships in and among the various wavelengths and the position of each type of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum.

  • Hector's Colour-Music Code
    HECTOR’S COLOUR-MUSIC CODE Niels Hutchison, 2020 [email protected] 1912–1913 PATENTS AU1912003713 & GB191229615A Hector stipulated the colours red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (ROYGBIV) to occupy the seven notes of a musical octave. Isaac Newton had used these colours in “Opticks” of 1704, to fill the intervals of a scale starting on the note D. Hector named no particular musical scale in these patents. While the patents awaited approval, an article on Hector in the Sydney Mail applied his ROYGBIV colour to a diatonic scale on A – the white notes A, B, C, D, E, F and G on a piano. An article in the Western Australian concurred. Hector’s patents specified that low-pitched octaves were dark, and successively higher octaves were in lighter colours. Here; the beginning of the next highest octave on A’ is shown in a lighter shade of red. The patents also specified ‘half tones’ for the sharps and flats, so that 12 differently coloured lights corresponded to the 12 semitones of an octave. Seven different brightness levels were given in the patents, for successive octaves. They are indicated below over seven octaves, from the deepest dark notes to the lightest high notes. Hector varied his scheme by spreading one spectrum over an entire keyboard, below. He mentioned red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet, omitting the usual indigo.

  • Is Black Really Black?
    Super Science Connections: Is Black Really Black? How many ways can we make the color black? This activity is intended for children entering grades K-4 in the next school year. To carry it out safely there must be a responsible older person to prepare materials, read directions aloud, and supervise the activity. This could be a parent, guardian, or older sibling. The supervisor should do the preparation steps and consult the science background information on the last page before leading children through the activity. Materials • One set of food coloring (red, yellow, green, and blue) * • One clear container, such as a plastic cup (plastic is preferred because glass can shatter) • Water • Crayons or pencils to record data on a copy of page 3. * Food coloring can stain clothing and some surfaces! Depending on the age of the participants, supervisors may want to handle the food coloring themselves. Preparation • Before beginning, make several copies of the worksheet on page 3. • Use a crayon or marker to color each of the color words at the bottom of the worksheet with the appropriate color. (This will allow non-readers to record their data.) • Tell participants the goal is to make water black by adding drops of different food colors. This activity is courtesy of ICE, the Institute for Chemical Education at UW-Madison’s Chemistry Department. It is adapted for use at home from Is Black Really Black? in the Super Science Connections Section 1: Color and Light activities offered by ICE at this link: http://ice.chem.wisc.edu/SSC/.

  • Communicating with Colors
    Colors that Communicate The human eye can see 7,000,000 colors. So how appropriate is it that Johann, a veteran of SSTV, has a call sign: W5CST, or Color Slowscan TV!! While yellow in large doses is the most fatiguing color, it is also the most visible of all the colors. It is the first color the human eye notices. One can use yellow very effectively in SSTV templates to get attention, and to communicate clearly, and when accented with black, it can be particularly effective. White is the abundance of all colors. Black is the lack of color. White reflects back about 80% of the light, while black reflects only 5%. As a percentage (80/5), we get a 16:1 Light Reflectance ratio. The US Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recommends a maximum ratio of 3:1 for visual tasks. This is something to consider when thinking about color choices for SSTV template texts. This tutorial is an exploration of useful colors that can enhance communications in Slow Scan TV (SSTV). Electromagnetic waves & light Electromagnetic waves are waves that are capable of traveling through a vacuum. Unlike mechanical waves that require a medium in order to transport their energy, electromagnetic waves are capable of transporting energy through the vacuum of outer space. Electromagnetic waves are produced by a vibrating electric charge and as such, they consist of both an electric and a magnetic component. Electromagnetic waves exist within an enormous range of frequencies. This continuous range of frequencies is known as the electromagnetic spectrum . The entire range of the spectrum is often broken into specific regions.

  • Make a Rainbow
    MAKE A RAINBOW Most people would agree; a rainbow is a beautiful sight! Did you ever wonder how these beautiful arcs of color form in the sky? Sunlight is considered white light, only a part of which can be seen by the human eye. White light is actually made up of all the colors of the rainbow blended together. The scientist Sir Isaac Newton identified the colors of the visible light spectrum that make up white light. Have you ever heard of ROYGBIV? If you can remember this acronym (an abbreviation formed from the first letters of other words), you can remember all the colors of the rainbow in order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet! Light travels in waves that have both a wavelength and frequency. Wavelength is the distance between the crests of the waves. Frequency is a measure of the number of wave crests that pass a stationary point each second. Longer wavelengths have a lower frequency. Shorter wavelengths have a higher frequency. Each color in the visible light spectrum has a different wavelength, as you can see in the illustration below. When light enters glass, it slows down and is bent or refracted. You can see the full spectrum of colors in white light if you shine a bright light, or focus sunlight, through a prism. A prism is a specially shaped crystal that separates light into all of its colors. The different wavelengths that make up white light bend at different angles, which is why the colors appear in a specific order. An illustration of the separation of white light passing through a prism.

  • Rainbow in Your House
    Rainbow in Your House All of us have seen rainbows in the sky. Have you observed that the colors of the rainbow are always in the same order? What kind of weather is best to see a rainbow? In this activity you will make a rainbow in your home or school. You will need a sunny window. What You Will Need clear glass or jar white paper crayons, markers or colored pencils What To Do 1. Fill a clear glass or jar with water. 2. Place the glass or jar in a sunny window. The sun must be visible as shown in the illustration to the right. Courtesy of NOVA 3. You can also place the glass or jar on a table in front of the window. 4. To see the rainbow, you might have to raise the glass or jar up or down or move it forward or backward. 5. Place the white paper where you see the rainbow. What Do You Observe Observe the rainbow on the paper. The colors will be in this order: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. The arrangement of colors can be abbreviated as ROYGBIV. Since the colors blend together, you may not be able to see all of them clearly separated from each other. How Rainbows Form The best time to observe a rainbow is in the spring right after a rainfall and the sun is starting to shine through the clouds. Even Courtesy of Fidcal Techzone though the rain has stopped, raindrops remain in the sky. The sun is now shining through the drops.
