Quiz 3-physical Properties Flashcards
incident light
reflected, absorbed, or transmitted
opacity of dentin and enamel
dentin is more opaque
translucency
diffused transmission of light; light is dispersed (not transmitted)
opaque
no passage; scattering within may happen
refraction
light changes direction in a second medium
seeing color
- source emits light onto
- object
- color that we see is reflected off to the observer
3 indices of color
Hue, Value, and chroma
Hue
The dominant color of the object (red,yellow, or blue)
Hue of teeth
yellow to yellow-red
value
the lightness or darkness of a color (0 is black and 10 is white) teeth=6-8
Value of natural teeth
6-8
Chroma
the intensity of a color; is the object rich in color or pale?
0=achromatic and 18=saturated
teeth are weak
Color Content
different light sources have different wavelength components
better a light source matches standard
higher ranking
color rendition index
a measure of how well a light source renders color compared to standard (N daylight)
light source for color matching
> 90 CRI
Intensity
low level light and high level cause loss of color
ideal intensity is
1500-2500 lux
surroundings
modify the type of light reaching the object
Gloss
object; how much light is reflected off the object (moisture, roughness)
Individual response
normal people see different colors
color vision
5% of men and .5% of women have color deficiencies
