Description

If sunlight is often described as "white," why do we see so many colors? How are colors connected to the wavelengths of light? And what exactly is a wavelength? Anna Galler, a researcher at TU Graz, takes us on a journey through the world of light, pigments, and the fascinating physics behind every shade.
