  2. Cyanopsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanopsia

    The eye's lens is normally tinted yellow.This reduces the intensity of blue light reaching the retina.When the lens is removed because of cataract, it is usually replaced by an artificial intraocular lens; these artificial lenses are clear, allowing more intense blue light than usual to fall on the retina, leading to the phenomenon.

  3. Purple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple

    Purple is a color similar in appearance to violet light. In the RYB color model historically used in the arts, purple is a secondary color created by combining red and blue pigments. In the CMYK color model used in modern printing, purple is made by combining magenta pigment with either cyan pigment, black pigment, or both.

  4. Phosphene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphene

    An artist's representation of how some people may see phosphenes by retinal stimulation. A phosphene is the phenomenon of seeing light without light entering the eye. The word phosphene comes from the Greek words phos (light) and phainein (to show). Phosphenes that are induced by movement or sound may be associated with optic neuritis. [1] [2]

    A simple example of this is being able to see farther in heavy rain than in heavy fog. This process of reflection/absorption is what causes the range of cloud color from white to black. [19] Other colors occur naturally in clouds. Bluish-grey is the result of light scattering within the cloud.

    The service allowed residents "to see what's happening, check out the traffic and keep an eye out for crime". [ 38 ] The Cornell University professor and information theorist Branden Hookway introduced the concept of a Panspectrons in 2000: an evolution of the panopticon to the effect that it does not define an object of surveillance more, but ...

  7. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

    The focal length for light at other visible wavelengths will be similar but not exactly equal to this. Chromatic aberration is used during a duochrome eye test to ensure that a correct lens power has been selected. The patient is confronted with red and green images and asked which is sharper.

    The magician Harry Houdini with Joaquin MarĂ­a Argamasilla known as the "Spaniard with X-ray Eyes".. Dermo-optical perception (DOP, also known as dermal vision, dermo-optics, skin vision, skin reading, finger vision, cutaneous perception, digital sight, and bio-introscopy [1]) is a term that is used in parapsychological literature to denote the alleged capability to perceive colors ...

    2 are clear substances with a light sky-blue color caused by absorption in the red (in contrast with the blue color of the sky, which is due to Rayleigh scattering of blue light). High-purity liquid O
