The Colour Yellow Does Not Actually Exist! -nerdvarsity (+PICS) by CrazyScientist: 8:59pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
[img]http://nerdvarsity.files./2016/06/lemon.jpg?w=1108[/img] What colour do you see ? well, you’d say Yellow of course, but actually, The yellow you see doesn’t even exist at all, what do i mean? Let’s go on another exciting journey… As I look at these lemons in real life, what i see is a ‘Subtractively Yellow’ colour (it absorbs every other colour and reflects yellow light), which is REAL YELLOW , but the SCREEN you're using to read this doesn’t produce yellow light at all! Actually it can only produce RED, BLUE or GREEN Light,so you’re actually not seeing YELLOW at all! So how come you can see yellow you ask? well, it’s easy to fool the brain. But how does the screen do this…Below Is What Different Screens Actually Display: [img]http://nerdvarsity.files./2016/06/rbg4screen.jpg?w=1108[/img] The retinas in our eyes contain three different cone cells used to detect colours, one is great for blue, one for red and the other for green. Notice that there’s none to detect other colours (like purple, brown e.t.c), so the way we see yellow happens like this: The wavelength of yellow light falls between the wavelength of GREEN and RED, so the cones for red and green are slightly activated and your brain says: “that’s what happens when something is YELLOW, so it must be Yellow.” [img]http://nerdvarsity.files./2016/06/eyedcve.jpg?w=1108[/img] What your Computer or Phone screen does is it sends red and green light to your eyes so small that your brain cant distinguish them, so it says I’m receiving a little bit of red and green and thats what yellow does, so it must be Yellow, even though it actually ISN’T YELLOW! How amazing!

so what do we do now. organise a conference on the review of colour wheel? or probably set up a fresh curriculum for all and sundry campaigning for reorientation of colours. well in my opinion, there is so much problem in Nigerian currently to bother whether "yellow" exists or not.. it has no sociological, economical, political, religious, biological, and many other ...cal and ...ous value. #yawns and walks away from thread 17 Likes 4 Shares |

Sorry but I ain't taking this concerning the visible lights in the electromagnetic spectrum. I will consider this as a misconception. However you can provide more links to backup your points . To the physicist, “color” is synonym for frequency. So yes, every distinct frequency is basically a distinct color. So the “color” of, say, an FM radio broadcast at 91.5 MHz is different from the “color” of another FM station at 103.3 MHz. And X-rays and gamma-rays of different frequencies would have distinct “colors”, too. To the biophysicist/biologist, color is what the eye can see. The human eye is sensitive to three colors, all confined to within a very narrow range of frequencies (in musical terms, less than an octave). Because of this, the human eye cannot distinguish a pure color (e.g., monochromatic yellow light) from a corresponding combination of colors that match its sensitivity (e.g., a combination of red and blue light); even though they are very different to the physicist, they are perceived the same by us. (As a thought experiment, think about setting up your computer monitor so that its surface is uniform yellow, and make it the only light source in an otherwise dark room. An object that only reflects yellow light but does not reflect red or green light will appear rather black in this “yellow” light… that’s because the monitor doesn’t emit yellow light, it emits a mix of red and green that we perceive as yellow. Or imagine if your ears worked like your eyes do: they would be unable to distinguish a pure musical “A” sound from a mix of, say, an “E” and a high “C”.) It's just the way the human eye sees it but talking about EMS the yellow color exist. Are you trying to say if I am to work on a bandwidth I won't be getting a visible yellow light? 2 Likes
