![]() Reflection from snow does not produce colors, but reflection inside ice crystals does. |
![]() Reflection in azzure on borders of the gold-doped, red ash-tray come from Mie scattering, like in the sky. |
Spectrum is an image, something produced by the object, like the reflected or emitted light. |
![]() CD-cover “produces” colors, but usually reflecting polarized light, i.e. from blue sky. Unless, the polymer is strongly oriented, like here. |
![]() Look carefully or snap shots:
spectra are everywhere. |
![]() Separating colors can be done by refraction, like here, diffraction, like to the right, or scattering. |
![]() In the left image no dark blue is present, in the right image no yellow but
a lot of red. One is of so-called energetic lamp, one of the morning sky. |
![]() Colors in CD-cover are complementary, obtained by subtraction of red, blue or green from white. |
