It’s awfully convenient that lasers come in red, green, and blue. This lets us make a bunch of other colors.
\nAccording to the laws of eyeballs, combining red and green light makes the light appear yellow. And that’s exactly what happens.<\/p>\n

$\"Yellow$ <\/a>

I can’t believe it’s not butter!<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that just because the light looks<\/em> yellow doesn’t mean it is<\/em> yellow. The light is still composed entirely of red and green wavelengths, but due to how our eyes perceive light, it appears yellow. Cameras work the same way.<\/p>\n

Here are some more predictably pigmented colors:<\/p>\n

$\"Aquamarine$ <\/a> $\"Purple$ <\/a><\/p>\n

$\"Combination$ <\/a>
And when you combine all three colors, you get white.<\/p><\/div>\n

Although it is strange that my 300mW red laser looks equally bright as my 5mW green one. Maybe physics is broken after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
