We perceive blue light mixed with yellow light to be equivalent to green light. Does this have more to due with the way the wavelengths interact or some other physical phenomena or is it a biological phenomena

The perception of colors is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected or absorbed by objects. Blue and yellow light have different wavelengths, and when they are combined, they activate different color-sensitive cells (cones) in our eyes. These cones then send signals to our brain, which interprets the combination of signals as the color green.
The color green is created when the wavelengths of blue and yellow light overlap and stimulate the cones in our eyes that are sensitive to both colors. This creates a new perception of color in our brain, which we perceive as green. If different colors are combined, they may create a different perception, depending on which cones are activated.
Yes, the shade of green created by combining blue and yellow can vary depending on the amount of each color present. For example, if there is more blue than yellow, the resulting green will be darker, and if there is more yellow than blue, the resulting green will be lighter.
No, the perception of color can vary from person to person, as everyone's eyes and brain interpret color differently. Some people may have more or fewer cones that are sensitive to blue or yellow light, leading to a slightly different perception of green. Additionally, cultural and personal experiences can also influence how we perceive colors.
No, the science behind color perception is complex and can vary depending on the colors being combined. For example, mixing red and green light creates yellow, whereas mixing red and blue light creates magenta. Additionally, the science behind color perception also applies to other factors, such as lighting and color contrast.
