    This lab explores light and color using an RGB simulation. The student observes that: 1) Individual primary colors (red, green, blue) are seen when their respective bulbs are turned on fully. 2) Mixing two primary colors produces secondary colors - red and green makes yellow, red and blue makes purple, and green and blue makes aqua. 3) Mixing all three primary colors makes white light. The student records their observations of light and color under different simulation settings, including the effects of filters on light.

    Physics
    Lab 8- Light and Color
    This lab will introduce you to Light and Color, as well as have you explore the nature of
    light in relation to color.
    For this lab follow the instructions below and answer the questions. Please make sure
    that you give as much detail as possible in your final assignment.
    Access: Click on Light & Radiation. Launch the Color Vision Simulation.

    Part I Use the RGB Bulbs Tab


    Each light has a color gradient. For the best results, slide the bar to the very top of each
    color. Each color should be observed individually for this first part. To stop the color,
    return the bar to the black location. a) What color is seen when the red light is on?Red
    b) What color is seen when the green light is on? Green c) What color is seen when
    the blue light is on? Blue

    For the next part we will investigate the effects of mixing two colors. Before you begin
    each part be sure to make a hypothesis.
    a) What color do you think the man will see
    when red and green are mixed together?Brown
    b) Turn on the red and green, both
    to the very top of the color scale. What does the man actually see?Yellow
    c) Experiment with the degree of color. While doing this, make sure that both
    colors are in equal locations on
    the scale. What colors are observed? Do
    they still fit into the same color family as the color observed in b?
    I put the red and blue together, but only halfway up the scale. The man sees a
    dark, faded yellow. They fit into the same color family.

    Keep the red light on (to the top red location), and turn off the green. We will be looking
    at red and blue next. a) What color do you think the man will see when red and blue
    are mixed together?Purple b) Turn on the red and blue, both to the very top of the color
    scale. What does the man actually see?Pinkish-purple.
    c) Experiment with the
    degree of color. While doing this, make sure that both colors are in equal locations on
    the scale. What colors are observed? Do they still fit into the same color family as the
    color observed in b?I put the red and blue together, only halfway up the color scale.
    The man sees a darker, more faded version of the same pinkish-purple.
    Keep the blue light on (to the top blue location), and turn off the red. We will be looking
    at green and blue next.
    a) What color do you think the man will see when green
    and blue are mixed together?Aqua b) Turn on the green and blue, both to the very top
    of the color scale. What does the man actually see?Aqua c) Experiment with the
    degree of color. While doing this, make sure that both colors are in equal locations on
    the scale. What colors are observed? Do they still fit into the same color family as the
    color observed in b?
    I put green and blue on halfway up the color scale. The man sees a darker,
    more faded version of the aqua.

    Now we will be looking at mixing all three colors.


    What color do you think the man will see when red, green and blue are all mixed
    together? White
    Turn on all three colors, all to the very top of the color scale. What does the man actually
    see? White

    Fill in the color diagram below. Provide the appropriate colors that you observed when
    each was mixed. You may use colored pencils if you wish.
    RED
    BLUEPURPLE
    GREEN
    RED

    Yellow

    BLUE
    GREENAQUA

    Part II Use the Single Bulb Tab


    Set the simulation to the following: bulb type white, beam photons, and filter
    color off. a) What is coming out of the bulb? b) What color light does the man
    see?
    Set the simulation to the following: bulb type white, beam solid, and filter color
    off.
    a) What is coming out of the bulb? b) What color light does the man
    see? White
    Set the simulation to the following: bulb type white, beam photons, and filter
    color on. a) Choose any filter color. Record the color
    ______Blue______________.
    b) What is coming out of the bulb before the filter
    (in the area just in front of the filter)? Photons of all different colors.
    c) What is
    coming out after the filter?Only blue photos
    d) What color light does the man
    see?Blue
    e) Choose another filter color. Record the color
    __________Red___________.
    f) Repeat questions b-d (above)B. Photons of all
    different colors. C. Only red photons. D. Red. Please record your observations as you
    answer the questions. g) What is the filter doing?
    The filter is making the photons mimic its color.
    Set the simulation to the following: bulb type white, beam solid, and filter color
    on. a) Choose any filter color. Record the color _________Green___________.
    Repeat questions b-d (from question 3
    on the last page). Please record your
    observations as you answer the questions.B. A white beam of light C. A green beam of
    light D. Green
    b) Choose another filter color. Record the color

    _______Orange_____________. Repeat questions b-d (from question


    3 on the
    last page). B. A white beam if light C. An orange beam of light D. Orange. Please
    record your observations as you answer the questions.
    c) What are the differences
    between question 3 (photon setting) and question 4 (solid setting)?The photon setting
    shows individual photons of different colors that are seen through the eye as white
    light. The solid setting shows only the white light.
    d) What are the similarities
    between question 3 (photon setting) and question 4 (solid setting)? They are both the
    same light, the photon setting only shows the photons while the solid setting shows
    light as seen to the eye.

    Set the simulation to the following: bulb type monochromatic, beam solid, and
    filter color on.
    a) Select a bulb color and a filter color that are different. Record
    the colors chosen below. What does the man
    see?
    Bulb Color:
    __________Yellow___________
    Filter Color:
    _________Blue____________
    Color seen by
    the man: Black
    b) Select a bulb color and a filter color that are the same. Record
    the colors chosen below. What does the man
    see?
    Bulb Color:
    _________Red____________
    Filter Color:
    ________Red_____________
    Color seen by
    the man: Red
    c) What is the filter doing? It does not change the color
    because they are the same.
    In this activity light was represented in 2 ways as a photon or as a solid. What
    explanation can you provide for the nature of light?
    The photons come together to make light as the eye sees it, like many small
    snowflakes make a snowman.
