  • What is the main topic of today's video?
    The color appearance of objects
  • What is visible light made up of?
    A spectrum of different colors
  • Which color has the longest wavelength?
    Red
  • Which color has the shortest wavelength?
    Violet
  • What acronym can help remember the order of colors in the visible spectrum?
    ROY G BIV
  • Why aren't white and black considered colors in the spectrum?
    White is a combination of all wavelengths, and black is the absence of light
  • What determines the color an object appears?
    The wavelengths of light hitting it and the object's properties
  • How does a gas appear blue?
    It reflects blue wavelengths of light and absorbs others
  • What are opaque objects?
    Objects that do not transmit any light
  • How might a piece of cheese appear yellow?
    By reflecting yellow wavelengths or a combination of red and green wavelengths
  • What is the difference between transparent and translucent objects?
    Transparent objects transmit nearly all light, while translucent objects transmit some light
  • What is an example of a transparent object?
    Glass in windows
  • How does the color of a translucent object like a plastic bottle appear green?
    Because it transmits green wavelengths while absorbing others
  • What do color filters do?
    They filter out particular colors so that only certain wavelengths can pass through
  • What is a primary color filter?
    A filter that only allows one of the three primary colors to be transmitted
  • What happens when white light passes through a green filter?
    Only the green wavelength gets through
  • How would white paper appear through a green filter?
    It would appear green
  • How would a blue object appear through a green filter?
    It would appear black
  • What do yellow filters allow to pass through?
    Yellow light, red, and green wavelengths
  • What do indigo filters allow to pass through?
    Indigo wavelengths, blue, and red wavelengths
  • What are the key concepts related to how objects appear in color?
    • Visible light is a spectrum of colors.
    • Color appearance depends on light wavelengths and object properties.
    • Opaque objects absorb or reflect light.
    • Transparent objects transmit light.
    • Color filters transmit specific wavelengths while absorbing others.
  • What are the primary colors of light?
    • Red
    • Green
    • Blue
  • What is the difference between transparent and translucent objects?
    • Transparent: Transmit nearly all light (e.g., glass).
    • Translucent: Transmit some light (e.g., plastic bottle).
  • How do color filters work?
    • Filter out specific colors.
    • Allow certain wavelengths to pass through.
    • Primary color filters allow only one primary color.
