Today in class we learned in more depth about
electromagnetic waves. Mr. Blake did a really cool demonstration with light
pigments, showing us how the colors interact with each other as we explored all
the different color combinations. At first, we only explored the mixture of
primary colors (red, green, blue) and their product of secondary colors (cyan,
magenta, yellow). Then we delved into the concepts of white and black, which is
the presence of all colors and the absence of all colors. This made me think
about kaleidoscopes. They only work if you aim them at light. There are many
multi-colored chips of glass/plastic inside that swim around in the prism. The
combinations of colors and the angled reflection of the light causes the infinite
colors and patterns within the kaleidoscope. Seeing Mr. Blake's color
demonstration today really got me thinking about the complexity of our
childhood toy.
