Homework problem set #9: Chapter 9, Page 266: P2, P3, P4, P6, P9, P13

 

P2.  See drawing below



 

P3.  See drawing below



 

P4. The hue (the wavelength corresponding to the peak in the intensity distribution) is blue/green and it is unsaturated  because the distribution has a significant width

 

P6. Monochromatic orange= 600 nm. About 72%  Red, 30% green, -2% blue. A negative amount of blue is required because the color lies on the horseshoe curve outside of the triangular lines joining the three primaries.

 

P9. Complementary colors are colors that produce white when added together.

 

          Examples:    Blue (460 nm)  + Yellow (570 nm)

                             Red (650 nm)  + Cyan (490 nm)

                             Green (530 nm) + Magenta (no wavelength)

 

P13.  a. Magenta is complementary to green

          b. It has no wavelength and is therefore non-spectral

          c.  Probably false. Yellow + Cyan will produce a greenish white – join the two colors on fig 9.9
