6F10.10color boxO-6aThe Welch color box shows the addition of the primary colors.
6F10.10additive color mixingDisc 23-26Mix red, green, and blue in a color box.
6F10.11color additionL-88Red, green, and blue lamps shine from the corners of a white triangle. A rod or rods are placed on the screen to show the colors of shadows.
6F10.12cenco color apparatusO-6bThe primary colors can be projected onto a screen.
6F10.13color synthesizer35-7.6A color synthesizer allows demonstration of the significance of dominate wavelength, purity, luminosity, etc.
6F10.15color additionL-89Wratten filters Nos. 19, 47, and 61 are used to make a slide with 1/3 of a circle of each color. A projection arrangement shows the combination of colors and division of light between the separate colors.
6F10.16color projector35-7.1Adapting a lantern slide projector for mixing primary colors.
6F10.17projecting colors35-7.4Many color demonstrations are performed with a slide projector and slides reflected off swivel mirrors.
6F10.18lantern slide colors35-7.2A diffraction grating is held in front of a lantern projector with seven slits, one side with primary additive colors, the other with subtractive, and the center white.
6F10.20color filtersPIRA 500
6F10.20color filters6F10.20Cyan, magenta, and yellow filters are available as loose squares or fixed in a plexiglass holder for use on the overhead projector.
6F10.22dichromatic primary pairsAJP 37(6),662Discussion of the standard light addition, subtraction, as they relate to two color mixing.
6F10.23artist's colorsAJP 47(2),142On why artists use red, yellow, and blue instead of red, green, and blue.
6F10.23artist's colors - letterAJP 47(7),573Hey guys, artists use pigments, not light, and anyway the subtractive primary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow. Information of 4-color printing and real artist's pigments too.
6F10.25spinning color discPIRA 1000
6F10.25synthesis of colorsOj-2A disc with colored sectors appears white when rotated.
6F10.25spinning color discsL-93Disks with colored sectors are spun until the colors blend together.
6F10.25Newton's color discDisc 23-25A spinning disc of colored sectors appears white.
6F10.26weird slit with Hg light35-7.7A slit and "inverted slit" used with Hg and a prism produce the normal line spectra and "inverted spectrum" of complementary colors.
6F10.30recombining the spectrumPIRA 1000
6F10.30recombining the spectrumOj-4Recombine the spectrum after passing through a prism to get white light or remove a color and get the complement.
6F10.30recombining colors35-7.5Recombining dispersed light after reflecting out various colors, etc.
6F10.30recombining the spectrumL-92Obtain a spectrum with a prism, reflect out a color with a small thin mirror, and recombine the light with a lens.
6F10.33purity of the spectrumPIRA 1000
6F10.33purity of the spectrumOj-1A second prism at right angles bends each color without dispersion.
6F10.35splitting and recombining35-1.6A half spectrum filter splits out light from a beam which is then recombined at a spot.
6F10.36dispersion and recombination35-5.5Several variations of recombining dispersed light from a prism.
6F10.45complementary shadowPIRA 1000
6F10.45red and green6F10.45
6F10.45complementary shadow35-7.8Shadows of red and white lights illuminating the same object from different angles appear to produce green light.
6F10.50filtered spectrumPIRA 1000
6F10.50filtered spectrumL-90Part of a beam of white light is projected through a prism. When a filter is inserted in the beam, the spectrum and transmitted light are compared.
6F10.51liquid cell absorption35-4.3An absorbing solution is placed in a liquid cell placed in a beam of light before dispersion.
6F10.52plotting absorptionO-9dA motor drive is connected to a grating and the output of a lead sulfide detector is plotted on a strip chart recorder as the spectrum is scanned with various filters and intensities. Reference: AJP 35(6),542-3.
6F10.52spectra and liquid absorptionO-9aAbsorption cells filled with liquids are used with a 35 mm projector and the B & L spectra projection kit.

6F10.54photocell measurement of absorptionL-115Use suitable sources, cells, and filters to measure absorption of substances with a photocell.
6F10.55band absorption spectraPIRA 1000
6F10.55band absorption spectrumL-109A flask of nitrous oxide is placed in the beam of white light before dispersion by a prism spectroscope. Didymium glass and dilute blood are also suggested.
6F10.56absorption spectrum of chlorophyllL-110Show the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll obtained by macerating leaves in methyl alcohol. Red and Green transmit.
6F10.57water absorption bands39-1.6A monochrometer (38-5.11) is used to demonstrate water absorption bands.
6F10.61metal films and dyesL-96A thin film of gold transmits green but looks reddish-yellow by reflection. Dyes also transmit and reflect different colors.
6F10.65dichromatismL-95Green cellophane transmits more red light than green. Stack lots of sheets and the color of transmitted light changes from green to red.
6F10.70three conditions for colorL-87The three conditions are: Color must be in the source, the object must reflect or transmit the color, the detector must be sensitive to the color. Shine different colored light at different colored objects.
6F10.71color due to absorptionL-91Light from a projection lantern reflected off red, green, and blue glass to the ceiling is the same but the transmitted light is colored by absorption.
