Working with color
- [Instructor] Besides the work that was being done in the scientific community to better understand the mechanics of light and figure out how it traveled around an environment, there was also research being done at a similar period in time into its color properties because even in nature, we regularly see a wide-range of colors being produced by what we would call natural light sources. By the mid 19th century then, Glasgow bond physicist William Thompson, more widely known today as Lord William Kelvin produced what is known as the kelvin temperature scale, the sequence of measurements that were based on his experiments with a black body emitter, specifically, a block of carbon which upon being heated, produced a range of colors that he noted followed a definite and reproducible progression. The kelvin scale then, produces a numeric value in degrees to each step of that progression with the colors going from black through to…
