Achromatopsia, also known as Rod monochromacy, is a medical syndrome that exhibits symptoms relating to five conditions, most notably monochromacy.Historically, the name referred to monochromacy in general, but now typically refers only to an autosomal recessive congenital color vision condition.
Over most of the disc, scattered light at all wavelengths overlaps, resulting in white light which brightens the sky. At the edge, the wavelength dependence of the scattering gives rise to the rainbow. [5] The light of a primary rainbow arc is 96% polarised tangential to the arc. [6] The light of the second arc is 90% polarised.
Monochrome photography is photography where each position on an image can record and show a different amount of light, but not a different hue.It includes all forms of black-and-white photography, which produce images containing shades of neutral grey ranging from black to white. [1]
Example of a monochromatic color scheme Monochromatic color gradient on color wheel. A monochromatic color scheme comprises (tones, tints, and shades) of a single hue.Tints are achieved by adding white, thereby increasing lightness; Shades are achieved by adding black, thereby decreasing lightness; Tones are achieved by adding gray, thereby decreasing colorfulness.
A Turkish nazar boncuğu Eye beads or nazars – amulets against the evil eye – for sale in a shop.. An eye bead or naẓar (from Arabic نَظَر , meaning 'sight', 'surveillance', 'attention', and other related concepts) is an eye-shaped amulet believed by many to protect against the evil eye.
The 3,000-year-old Uffington White Horse hill figure in England.. White horses have a special significance in the mythologies of cultures around the world. They are often associated with the sun chariot, [1] with warrior-heroes, with fertility (in both mare and stallion manifestations), or with an end-of-time saviour, but other interpretations exist as well.
In these models, mixing black and white will yield white, black and gray, respectively. Physical mixing processes, e.g. mixing light beams or oil paints, will follow one or a hybrid of these 3 models. [1] Each mixing model is associated with several color models, depending on the approximate primary colors used.
An example of this phenomenon is when clean air scatters blue light more than red light, and so the midday sky appears blue (apart from the area around the Sun which appears white because the light is not scattered as much). The optical window is also referred to as the "visible window" because it overlaps the human visible response spectrum.
