Okay, so I have been curious for awhile now as to the relationship between colors of lasers when blending. Is there a formula for it? Also, how much does the process differ from say blending crayons? I imagine in theory it would be the same, since the colors we perceive are still caused by the light being reflected back at us, correct?
So I guess I am just trying to figure out why Blue+Red=Purple.
If
405___445_____532______660___
is the Spectrum of visible light, with 405 modeling an approximation of purple, 445 modeling and approximation of blue, 532 as a marker, and 660 modeling red, then why does 660 blended with 445 add up to something like 405?
Do the wavelengths shorten when combined? Maybe the waves interfere with each other and cause a shorter wavelenght as a result? Any explanations would be GREATLY appreciated!
Peace,
Isaac
