Projected Light
Posted on November 22nd, 2009 No commentsFig.1 shows the overlapping light beams as shown in most books on physics to try to convince the public that white light is composed of all the other colours.
Unfortunately the illustration does not show the actuality, because there are no neat uniform areas of colours as shown. The light projectors do not project an even circle of colour as shown because the high intensity white beam always shows through the filters.
Consider the following extract: ‘It is an advantage if the projectors are controlled by rheostats, so that the relative intensities can be controlled in order to produce a good white’. From PHYSICS – An Examination Course. By E. L. Hansen. Hulton Educational Publications Ltd. In other words, if the physicists cannot obtain the results that they want, they are allowed to cheat. To be fair they don’t understand that it is cheating.
If you look at a Blue filter lying on a white sheet you see an even blue shade across the whole filter. If you shine a light through any filter you get results similar to those shown below.
It is obvious that a considerable amount of white light is coming through the filters. If we re-label the above drawing to allow for this white light we arrive at the following drawing.
In the above drawing we are looking at the combined colour energy levels in particular areas. We are also getting dangerously close (If you are a physicist) to the artists colour mixing principles.
In the ‘Yellow’ area the combination of colours would give a yellow ochre. In the ‘White’ area the combination would give a very light grey. The white intensity from the lamps is very much higher than the white intensity from a ‘White’ screen, and therefore a relatively small amount of white light has a far greater impact than you would expect. Referring back to the chapter on the energy value of coloured light, the white light from the lamps has a probable intensity of at least 10 times greater the yellow light from the filters.

Nice topic: Projected Light | Physics or Fantasy. I’d must examine with you here. Which isn’t one thing I often do! I enjoy studying a put up that can make folks think. Also, thanks for permitting me to comment!

Greetings from California! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to browse your blog on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked at how quick your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, great site!

Hello webmaster i see you put a lot of work in your blog’s content, i know how to make your blogging easier, do you know that you can copy any content from any
website, make it 100% unique and pass copy-scape test?
For more info, just search in ************* creates
an unique article in a minute.
————————————-
It is not difficult to pass the copy-scape test, universities have been teaching it for years. My wife typed student theses for years and as long as the completed thesis had the same meaning that the tutor stated, this was OK. This does not mean that the thesis is “unique”. If the thesis does not follow exactly the tutors thinking it means that the student has produced a “unique” thesis or he/she has a bad memory. If it is genuinely unique the student will probably fail.
