Light, Polarization & Color
![Page 2: Light, Polarization & Color. The nature of an object’s color What are examples of color? How can we tell one shade of a color from another? Do objects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf841a28abf838c86e65/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The nature of an object’s color
• What are examples of color?
• How can we tell one shade of a color from another?
• Do objects seem to sometimes change color under different light conditions?

White Light
Def: light given off from a source that emits all colors of light at once.
Light from a light bulb isn’t just one color, it’s three!

Primary Colors
• There are only three primary colors:
• Red, Green, and Blue
• ALL other colors can be made by mixing these together.

Complimentary Colors
• Mixing two primary color together makes one of the complimentary colors:
• Red + Green = Yellow
• Green + Blue = Cyan
• Blue + Red = Magenta

The Color White
• If you mix all three primary colors together, they will appear to be the color white.
• There are an infinite number of color combinations of Red, Green, and Blue to create different “recipes” of color.

Overlapping Colors Of Light

Creating the rainbow…
• Smoothing out the colors would make the diagram look something like this.
![Page 9: Light, Polarization & Color. The nature of an object’s color What are examples of color? How can we tell one shade of a color from another? Do objects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf841a28abf838c86e65/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What’s different about colors?• Each color of light has it’s own specific
wavelength.
![Page 10: Light, Polarization & Color. The nature of an object’s color What are examples of color? How can we tell one shade of a color from another? Do objects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf841a28abf838c86e65/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
So….
• If every color has a different wavelength, maybe they behave differently when different colors of light hit the same object.
• This is what gives an object it’s color.• (At least, what we think it’s color is)

Everything’s a Mirror
• Almost all objects reflect some kinds of light and absorb other kinds.
• White objects reflect all colors of light.
• Black objects absorb all colors of light.
• Absorbing light transfers energy to an object, so black objects heat up more rapidly than white objects.

Everything’s a Mirror
• Objects in between only reflect certain kinds of light.
• Example: Green leaves reflect green light, but absorb all other colors of the rainbow.

When’s a White shirt not white?
• A white tee shirt reflects all colors of light, making it appear white.
• If you look at a white shirt under red light, it looks red, because it’s reflecting all the light that’s there (only red), so that’s what you see.

Light Waves
• Since light travels in waves, they would look like this from the side:
• But this from the front
![Page 15: Light, Polarization & Color. The nature of an object’s color What are examples of color? How can we tell one shade of a color from another? Do objects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf841a28abf838c86e65/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Light in the real world
• Looking at a beam of light from the front, individual waves might look like this:

Polarizing Lens
• A polarizing lens only allows light waves lined up in a certain direction to pass through.
• A lens looks like the boards on a deck:
![Page 17: Light, Polarization & Color. The nature of an object’s color What are examples of color? How can we tell one shade of a color from another? Do objects](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf841a28abf838c86e65/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Polarizing Lens
• Only light that will “fit between the cracks” will pass through the lens. All the other light waves bounce off.
• Only these three ray will pass through

Uses of Polarized Light
• Polarizing Lenses can be used in the lab in experiments, but practical applications are:
• Sunglasses• Window Tint• Video Cameras• Binoculars/ Telescopes
• Using Polarizing lenses helps reduce glare and increase visibility in optics applications.
