Mixing Light Colors: Is There a Theory?

AI Thread Summary
A purple object appears black when illuminated by green light due to the principles of additive color mixing, where the absence of red and blue light results in the perception of black. The discussion seeks to explore theories related to color mixing, specifically how different light colors interact with objects of various hues. The concepts of subtractive and additive color models are relevant to understanding these interactions. Resources like Wikipedia provide foundational knowledge on these theories. Understanding these principles is essential for comprehending how light color affects the appearance of objects.

OP warned about not using the HH template
the problem is
the purple object will seem to be black if the object is illuminated by what color of light?

i want to know if there is a theory that discuss about this, or the mixing of light color.
Thank you for your help

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
