Test your understanding of the effect of filters on white light. Select a filter, or combination of filters to produce a particular lighting effect. Answer multiple-choice questions and give your reasoning for your answers. Predict the effect of adding different coloured filters to white light. Then use animations to help you explain why this effect occurs. View and print a report on your work. This assessment object is one in a series of two objects.
Objective
Students identify that a triangular prism can separate the colours of white light into a spectrum.
Students identify that coloured filters selectively absorb colours.
Students identify the regions of the spectrum absorbed by filters of each of the three subtractive primary colours.
Students relate the colour of an object to the reflection and absorption of different colours.
Students predict the result when subtractive colours are filtered onto coloured objects.
