Electromagnetic radiation
•Light is a form of energy that travels through space like a wave and is characterized by its wavelength.

Electromagnetic radiation
•Only certain wavelengths of light can be detected by the human eye.

•“White” light is actually composed of all colors in equal amounts.

•Specialized cone cells in our eyes respond to visible light and signal color to the brain.
Color Perception

Color Perception
•There are three different kinds of human cone cells varying in their sensitivities to different colors of light: blue, green, and red.
•Leads to trichromatic color vision. •Sometimes called long,
medium and short cones.

Color Perception
•Birds have four different kinds of cones (one in the UV).
•Dogs have only two (no green).

•Objects appear colored when they reflect light of that color.
Color Perception
•Red cones respond, signalling to the brain that the apple is “red”.

•Adding red, green, and blue light in equal amounts leads to white light.
Red, green, and blue are the primary colors of light.
Color Perception
•Adding red, green, and blue light in unequal amounts leads to all possible colors of light.

•Pigments are molecules that absorb certain colors of light and reflect the others.
•The brain integrates the responses of the cone cells to perceive the pigment’s color.
Color Perception
The yellow filter absorbs blue light; reflects red and green.

Last Friday, a priceless masterpiece was stolen from the little-known Waterville Museum of Old Weird Art. The painting was the masterpiece of the great Italian finger painter, Alfredo Fettuccini. However, yesterday the caretaker told police he forgot he had taken the painting home to clean it, and found it in his bedroom the next morning. An original painting by Fettuccini and the painting produced by the caretaker have been confiscated, packaged, and sent to the Colby Chemistry Lab for analysis.

You suspect that the caretaker, Ebenezer Wheezingeezer, stole the real painting and replaced it with a fake. You will investigate the pigments used in the paintings and then look for clues on the paintings themselves. The Waterville Museum of Old Weird Art has granted you special permission to handle these rare paintings. The police are standing by, awaiting your judgment.
