Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 16TE
Complete the following equations:
Yellow light + blue light = _____light.
Green light + _____light = white light.
Magenta light + yellow light + cyan light = _____ light.
Expert Solution & Answer
Solution
To determine: The suitable words for the blanks given in the statements.
Answer:
Blue light when mix with yellow light gives green light, while green light when mix with magenta gives white light and if magenta, cyan and yellow light are mixed it gives white light.
Explanation:
The Sun emits light of all frequencies and the green-yellow part of the spectrum of the light emitted by it is the brightest and our eyes are more sensitive to this part of the spectrum.
The human eyes have three types of cone cells that detect light of low (red), medium (green), and high (blue) frequencies. If all these three colors are allowed to be stimulated in equal proportion, we have a white perception of this combination.
So, if yellow light and blue light are mixed together, it gives a green light, while green and magenta form white light and magenta, cyan and yellow light gives white light.
Conclusion:
Therefore, blue light when mix with yellow light gives green light, while green light when mix with magenta gives white light and if magenta, cyan and yellow light are mixed it gives white light.

Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why.
