Colored Light Spectrum

Featured Replies

The colored lights(led or similar things) irradiate a narrower range according to its own emission spectrum. In that case,whatever the color of light, why does the light appears white in the center of all of them ?

Eg a green led produces some light that is detected by red and blue photodetectors. Since the centre is much brighter than the sides, all three colours get saturated and White is recorded.

Is this valid for the other monochromatic light source like red,blue,purple ect.. ?

Yes.

For purple and yellow, they are always triggering different photoreceptors, even at lower brightness.
