How was light discovered?
In the seventeenth century, Sir Isaac Newton placed a prism so that a thin beam of light could pass through it. When the white light passed through the prism, bands of colour emerged from the other side. This is because different colours will refract at different angles producing a rainbow effect.

From Coloured Light back to White Light

The Colour Spectrum
When white light refracts into different colors, the result is called a spectrum. The colours that form the spectrum are:
- Red- Orange- Yellow- Green- Blue- Indigo- Violet

The Rods and Cones
Rods - Rods detect the presence of light
Cones - Cones detect colour

Cones
There are three types of cones in our retinas
The first type of cones respond to light of long wavelengths
The second type of cones respond to light of medium wavelengths
The third type of cones respond to light of short wavelengths

Colour Blindness
Although white light contains red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet light, cones in the human eye responds mostly to red, green, blue light.
Cone cells in some people’s eyes are unable to detect certain colours resulting in colour blindness
