light

As I was laying down in my room thinking of what to write about for my journal, I see these bright colors stand out in my closet. It ended up bein my rastah colored suspenders. Being that the colors are red, yellow, and green, and that we just learned in physics about color, I figured that this would be perfect to talk about. As I examined my suspenders, I concluded that the suspenders reflected red light, yellow light, and green light from the light source. As we learned in physics, white light is a combination of red light, green light, and blue light. So with that being said, we can conclude that as the white light hits the suspenders, the suspenders reflect the red light and absorb the green and blue lights in order for us to see the red part of the suspenders. In order for us to see the yellow, the suspenders absorbs the blue light and reflects the green and red lights, which is then mixed to produce the yellow light we see. As for the green part of the suspenders, the suspenders absorb the red and blue lights, reflecting the green light. That is how we are able to see the rastah colors. Now, we can take this concept and apply it to all objects reflecting the white light and see how the different objects appear a certain color. Isn't that amazing.
