Candles under red light. Image 1 of 2. Colour is the result of an object reflecting and absorbing different parts of the visible (light) spectrum

Wave diffraction experiment. Waves in a ripple tank passing through an aperture, demonstrating the principle of diffraction. Plane waves are generated on the surface of the water at bottom

Flowers under green light. Colour is the result of an object reflecting and absorbing different parts of the visible (light) spectrum. Only reflected light contributes to an objects colour

Flowers under red light. Colour is the result of an object reflecting and absorbing different parts of the visible (light) spectrum. Only reflected light contributes to an objects colour

Diffraction experiment equipment. This is a set of narrow, closely spaced slits called Youngs Double Slits (YDS). The YDS experiment involves passing monochromatic light through these slits

Vibrating string. Standing wave on a single string, showing extreme points. The vibration has a wavelength equal to half the length of the string, so there is a node at either end

Flowers under blue light. Colour is the result of an object reflecting and absorbing different parts of the visible (light) spectrum. Only reflected light contributes to an objects colour

Flowers under white light. The foliage and flowers appear in their natural colours under white light. Colour is the result of an object reflecting and absorbing different parts of the visible (light)
