Why is it that if I were to mix a blue and yellow liquid together, my eyes see green? Why don't I see a mixture of blue and yellow dots?
Perhaps you would if you could see the individual molecules...touqra said:Why is it that if I were to mix a blue and yellow liquid together, my eyes see green? Why don't I see a mixture of blue and yellow dots?

touqra said:Further, we see something blue, because that object absorbs all wavelength except blue wavelength. If I were to mix blue, red and green liquid together, why don't I get a white liquid? But why blue, red and green light mixed, gives you white light?
Blue and yellow are both primary colors, meaning they cannot be created by mixing other colors. When these two colors are combined, they create a color that is not present in either of them - green. This is because blue and yellow have wavelengths of light that are complementary to each other, and when they are mixed, they cancel out each other's wavelengths and create green.
Yes, you can mix any shades of blue and yellow to create green. The resulting shade of green may vary depending on the specific shades of blue and yellow used. However, the basic principle of complementary wavelengths still applies, so the end result will always be a shade of green.
This is due to the way our eyes perceive color. Green has a higher luminance, or brightness, compared to blue and yellow. Our eyes are more sensitive to green light, which makes it appear brighter than blue and yellow when mixed together.
No, the green created by mixing blue and yellow is a different shade of green compared to other shades. This is because each shade of green has a different combination of wavelengths, and when blue and yellow are mixed, they create a specific combination of wavelengths that make up a unique shade of green.
Yes, you can create green by mixing other colors, as long as they have complementary wavelengths. For example, mixing blue and red will also create green, as red and blue are also complementary colors. However, the resulting shade of green may be different compared to mixing blue and yellow.
