Light and color Light and color • The “color” of an object we see is a function of: – Spectral qualities of the material being viewed: • Absorption • Reflection • Diffraction • Etc. • Absorption – Spectral qualities of the illuminating light. – Material can absorb light on a wavelength by wavelength basis – Responsible for object color 3
