Color

Color
Color (American English) or colour (British English; see spelling differences) is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, blue, yellow, and others. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects or materials based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra. By defining a color space, colors can be identified numerically by their coordinates. Because perception of color stems from the varying spectral sensitivity of different types of cone cells in the retina to different parts of the spectrum, colors may be defined and quantified by the degree to which they stimulate these cells. The science of color is sometimes called chromatics, colorimetry, or simply color science. Physics of color Perception

Color Wheel Pro: Color Meaning Red Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Red is a very emotionally intense color. Red brings text and images to the foreground. Light red represents joy, sexuality, passion, sensitivity, and love. Orange Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Orange has very high visibility, so you can use it to catch attention and highlight the most important elements of your design. Dark orange can mean deceit and distrust. Yellow Yellow is the color of sunshine. Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy. Use yellow to evoke pleasant, cheerful feelings. Dull (dingy) yellow represents caution, decay, sickness, and jealousy. Green Green is the color of nature. Green has great healing power. Blue Purple White Black

Light A triangular prism dispersing a beam of white light. The longer wavelengths (red) and the shorter wavelengths (blue) get separated Light is electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The word usually refers to visible light, which is visible to the human eye and is responsible for the sense of sight.[1] Visible light is usually defined as having a wavelength in the range of 400 nanometres (nm), or 400×10−9 m, to 700 nanometres – between the infrared (with longer wavelengths) and the ultraviolet (with shorter wavelengths).[2][3] Often, infrared and ultraviolet are also called light. The main source of light on Earth is the Sun. In physics, the term light sometimes refers to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, whether visible or not.[4][5] In this sense, gamma rays, X-rays, microwaves and radio waves are also light. Electromagnetic spectrum and visible light The behaviour of EMR depends on its wavelength. Speed of light Optics Refraction where

What Are Monsters?- Famous Monsters Explained Here What are Monsters? Dwelling around in dark places and corners, these famous monsters can be found under your bed, in your closet or behind closed bathroom doors. But most definitely, they are surely to be found living in your head. Creeping, lurking and lying in wait, their main motive is to scare anyone who may be crossing their path. But what are monsters actually? The word monster is derived from the Latin word "monstrum", which in literal terms means omen. It is a creature with an evil mind with structural defects or deformities physically, which inspires horror or disgust. Whether real or imaginary, these famous monsters are abnormal with deformed body parts which are frightening to look at. Some of these monsters have become real famous over time, because of their reputation for their fear factor capabilities and the eerie way of scaring people. Sometimes the monster can be a display of God’s anger, sometimes an omen of the future, or even a symbol of moral virtue or vice.

Color Meanings - Explore Palettes and Symbolism - Color Meaning and Colors That Go Together Updated October 28, 2015. Color symbolism is the use of color to represent traditional, cultural, or religious ideas, concepts, or feelings or to evoke physical reactions. Jump right to one of the colors or color groups I cover in detail or scroll past the color list for more general discussion of color meanings and how color works. This page and all its individual color symbolism pages have been copied in whole or in part many times over by others. continue reading below our video Loaded: 0% Progress: 0% Choosing colors based on symbolism can apply to everything from clothing to wall paint to home furnishings. In desktop publishing and design choosing color based on its symbolism applies to print and electronic projects from logos to Web site backgrounds. Colors are more than a combination of red and blue or yellow and black. Adjacent or harmonizing colors appear next to each other on the color wheel. On the next few pages we'll explore the color meanings of four different groups of colors.

Visual appearance Appearance of reflective objects[edit] The appearance of reflecting objects is determined by the way the surface reflects incident light. The reflective properties of the surface can be characterized by a closer look at the (micro)-topography of that surface. Definition diffusion, scattering: process by which the spatial distribution of a beam of radiation is changed in many directions when it is deviated by a surface or by a medium, without change of frequency of its monochromatic components.[1] Basic types of light reflection[edit] Appearance of transmissive objects[edit] Terminology[edit] Reflective objects [2] Transmissive objects [4] See also[edit] References[edit] Jump up ^ CIE No17.4-1987: International lighting vocabulary, 4th ed.

Alles over water - Water startpagina Color Psychology by David Johnson Like death and taxes, there is no escaping color. It is ubiquitous. Yet what does it all mean?

Theory of Constraints The theory of constraints (TOC) is a management paradigm that views any manageable system as being limited in achieving more of its goals by a very small number of constraints. There is always at least one constraint, and TOC uses a focusing process to identify the constraint and restructure the rest of the organization around it. TOC adopts the common idiom "a chain is no stronger than its weakest link." This means that processes, organizations, etc., are vulnerable because the weakest person or part can always damage or break them or at least adversely affect the outcome. History[edit] An earlier propagator of the concept was Wolfgang Mewes[2] in Germany with publications on power-oriented management theory (Machtorientierte Führungstheorie, 1963) and following with his Energo-Kybernetic System (EKS, 1971), later renamed Engpasskonzentrierte Strategie as a more advanced theory of bottlenecks.
