Document Summary

Covering the mechanisms of colour perception, continuing w/vision, discussed already how the visual system is made up starting w/your eye, thalamus, and primary visual cortex and extrastriate areas. Go back to the retina today and look at the diff. cones that make up your colour vision, day time vision, and how they contribute to your perception of colour. By passing it through a prism we have a pattern of refraction and we perceive these diff. wavelengths as having diff. colours. All light sources give off the same spectrum of light. That"s why images taken under totally diff. light conditions come out looking the same: Keys you into the emission spectrum of the light sources. Diff. light sources can have totally diff. emission spectrum. Emission spectra of different light sources: figure 11. 2: The 4 figures, each describes the relative intensity of the diff. wavelengths making up one light sources.
