Learning on ScreenColour, Chemistry and Computers
- Synopsis
- Shows the important role of dyes and pigments in everyday life. Looks at the scientific basis of additive and substractive colour. Uses a simple pictorial approach based on quantum theory to demonstrate how a dye gets its colour, emphasising the role of the computer. Explains the spectroscopic measurement and definition of the colour of a dye. Discusses traditional methods of predicting the colour of dyes and shows their shortcomings. Outlines the value of this technique in other areas of dye application.
