Make a whole rainbow by mixing red, green, and blue light. Change the wavelength of a monochromatic beam or filter white light. View the light as a solid beam, or see the individual photons.

An indexing page from Georgia State University for a variety of other pages associated with color vision. Pages are filled with meaningful graphics and thorough explanations.

A high-level scientific explanation of the way the eye senses light and sees images and color. Excellent graphics help you visualize complex workings of the human eye.

Students are presented with a challenge question concerning color blindness and asked to use engineering principles to design devices to help people who are color blind. Using the legacy cycle as a model, this unit is comprised of five...

Students are introduced to an engineering challenge in which they are given a job assignment to separate three types of apples. However, they are unable to see the color differences between the apples, and as a result, they must think as...

As a part of the research and revise step of the Legacy Cycle, this lesson provides students with information they will need later on to be able to average pixels to simulate blurring in the peripheral plane of vision. Students learn why...

Learn about the eye and how it processes color in this learning module.

York University provides an index page to several other pages on the topic of color and color vision. The pages are part of an online "book." Many graphics and explanations.

Students explore color, vision, and two-point source interference. The tutorial consists of lessons and problems to check for understanding.

Students learn about the basic properties of light and how light interacts with objects. They are introduced to the additive and subtractive color systems, and the phenomena of refraction. Students further explore the differences between...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Sight, or vision, is the ability to see light. It depends on the eyes detecting light and forming images. It also depends on the brain making sense of the images, so...

This site from Georgia State University discusses the meaning of the terms hue, saturation and brightness. Thorough, meaningful explanations and outstanding graphics.

Students learn about the anatomical structure of the human eye and how humans see light, as well as some causes of color blindness. They conduct experiments as an example of research to gather information. During their investigations,...

Part of a larger sight on the eyeball and its function, this section describes the process of sight and ranges in topics from the chemical reaction of light hitting the retina to blind spots and animals seeing color.

Students apply everything they have learned over the course of the associated lessons about waves, light properties, the electromagnetic spectrum, and the structure of the eye, by designing devices that can aid color blind people in...

This unit is designed for advanced programming classes. It leads students through a study of human vision and computer programming simulation. Students apply their previous knowledge of arrays and looping structures to implement a new...

Many articles with consumer information about lenses, eyewear, eye problems, and unique eye conditions. Vast content and many links to off-site information.

This site from Georgia State University discusses the location of visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum. Includes the wavelength values for various colors of light within the visible light spectrum.
