What Is Color? | Physics in Motion

The concept of color is explored as we learn about subtractive and additive color mixing. We examine what types of colors form when we mix different wavelengths of light. Properties and uses of pigments and dyes are discussed; the concept of luminance is introduced; and we see what makes an object transparent, transluscent or opaque.

Seen all videos from top designers and countless "science" youtube channels.
Yet a video of a dude in a church calmly explaining what colour is made me understand.
Wish this dude was my teacher.
Fantastic, outstanding & amazing job.

Great lecture!!

Forget to mention how inks are labeled the way they are.

4:55 doesn't the graph show reflectance and not absorbance?

[brianscattergood]

A good video, but 3:57 doesn't show us the inverse square law properly, in that the "square" at 3r is a rectangle.

[abdellahjaber]

an excellent explanation, thank you all who work in this record

[GlatHjerne]

Thanks from Denmark. Very informative video, it covered pretty much 10 pages in my chemistry book in 10 minutes!

[kenhagiya]

This video was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much.

[DarioVolaric]

I still don't understand how exactly is light absorbed on a nanometer level.

[momanulhoq]

great! you made it so easy to understand.

[zack_]

I was hoping for you to associate colors to their wave lengths.

[jackieleong]

If a black object absorbs all light, then where does the light energy absorbed go?

[itzteamrwby]

So is color a light thing if so why do you see red and blue dots when you close your eyes

[davidphelan]

Very informative, thank you for the video! Great work

[joeyjohnson]

No pink, magenta, or brown. And other colors. Can you explain there existence and the theory of psychological color and human behaviors?

[SDVenturist]

thank you for sharing! very informative

*Your here because of online school*

[TheFinalsHater]

But how does this effect the Fortnite item shop?

[EricPham-grpg]

Is the angle of the waves make up the cross like the heat of hydrogen and sound and carbon or oxygen when 90 ° we get visible light if above 90° is spirit or soul or consciousness moving away and blue it get closer that is why the day more alert while get sleeper at night

18 decillion colours? Where is your source for this? It seems too many.

I wish I could remember all the details of the thesis a friend did 60+ years ago. Accordingly, the color wheel theory mixing to make all white is incorrect.
