[RC] black pads..color wavelengths - firedancefarms
<<Black as a color is all colors and absorbs. White is the
absense of all colors and reflects. This is scientific fact and not
personal mumbo jumbo>>>
Yikes, the science teacher has to jump
in here. Color is a wavelength. Black is the ABSENCE of color and
white is all colors. The color that you see is the color reflected back,
and it's opposite (think of your color wheel) is the main color (wavelength)
absorbed. For example a green plant predominantly absorbs
the RED wavelength, therefore it reflects back what it does not absorb,
which is green.
White is reflecting all colors back and
absorbing none. Black absorbs all colors and reflects none. This can
be proved by using a prism.
So here's the question I ask my kids;
do your clothes have a color if there is no light??
