Cameras and Lenses
I have a question for the more knowledgeable:Color filters on the sensor split the light into three wavelength ranges - red, green, blue. Then photosites measure intensity of light, which means that sensor only knows that the incoming photon is "roughly green", but doesn't actually recognize its precise wavelength.So e.g. when the light is pure orange, it falls down into red wavelength range and is counted as red.Based on this I would expect that cameras would often produce pretty incorrect colors, but they are usually pretty good (after correcting for stuff like white balance).
