Vision Flashcards
1
Q
Wavelength
A
- horizontal diztance of a wave
- spectrum of visible light 380 to 700
2
Q
Frequency
A
- the number of wavelength cycles that pass through a fixed point( your eye) per second
- as wavelength decreases, frequency increases
3
Q
Hue
A
refelctive frequency intervals, color being seen
4
Q
Low frequency, large wave length
A
- low or slowmoving waves
- color red(430)
5
Q
Infra red waves
A
- light wave frequencies less than 430 THz
- too low for human detection
6
Q
High Frequency, short waves
A
- short and fast moving waves
- ## produces the color violet(790 THz)
7
Q
Ultra Violet waves
A
- lightwaves more than 790 THz
- too high of a frequency for human detection
8
Q
Amplitude
A
- intensity
- the verticle height of a wave( y-measurment)
- provides brightness and dullness
- measurment of energy intensity in a wave
- low frequency + Low amplitude= dull red
- High frequency + high amplitude = bright violet
9
Q
Saturation
A
- complexity
- visual field reflecting /abosrbing multiple waves of varying lengths, frequencies, and amplitudes = diverse color pallet
