Lesson 6 – Colour (p. 266 – 280) Teacher Copy 8-2-04 & 8-2-06 Explain, using the additive theory and the subtractive theory, how colours are produced, and identify applications of this theory in daily life. 8-2-05 Explain how the human eye detects colour, and how the ability to perceive colour may vary from person to person. The Source of Colours Sunlight is white light – which is made from mixing together all the different colours of light. When white light is refracted into different colours, the pattern (rainbow) is called a spectrum. For sunlight, the pattern is called the solar spectrum and can be remembered ROYGBIV using: How we see colour (p. 270 – 271, 274 - 275) Watch: (4 min) (2 min)
