Mixing blue, yellow, and red paint produces brownish black.

Front

What is the difference between primary colors of light and primary colors of paint?

Back

Primary colors of light (red, green, blue) combine to create white light, while primary colors of paint (red, yellow, blue) combine to create darker colors.

Front

What is diffraction?

Back

Diffraction is the bending of light waves around obstacles or through openings, causing spreading of the waves.
