RGB Color Addition

The RGB Color Addition Interactive provides the user with an interactive light box for investigating the principles of color addition. Learners can quickly see the result of mixing red, green, and blue light in equal and unequal intensities. Once they learn the basics of color addition and the manner in which the mixing of light produces specific colors in an image, they can begin to experiment with the RGB characteristics of a screen image. Learners can investigate the provided image and even explore an image uploaded from their own device.

Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. For a more guided experience, The Physics Classroom has prepared an activity for use with this Interactive and encourages teachers to use it with their classes.

Learners and Instructors may also be interested in viewing the accompanying Notes page. Technical information, teaching suggestions, and related resources that complement this Interactive are provided on the Notes page. View Notes.
