Simpleton questions about colour

[rainbow warrior]

Sorry if these are simple questions but I would like some yes/no answers as I have read lots but still confused ::confused:

Is where colour is suitated within the spectrum due to it's vibrational rate?

Is this vibrational rate also known as it frequency?

Is it when light reflects on the particles vibrating a different speeds that we see these vibrations as different colours?

Would particles at the red end of the spectrum be vibrating faster than those at the violet end of the spectrum?

Thanks heaps !!!

mmm.... let me try...
Is where colour is suitated within the spectrum due to it's vibrational rate?

... I think its more due to the frequency (or wavelength) of the colour which decides where in the electromagnetcic spetrum a visible colour falls. As humans we can only 'see' certain frequencies or wavelenghths... thus we can only see visble colour and not infrared for example.


Is this vibrational rate also known as it frequency?

... frequency/wavelenghth seem to be the same thing, but everything vibrates... see http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-627269/article-9075220

Is it when light reflects on the particles vibrating at different speeds that we see these vibrations as different colours?

... I believe that it is the actual molecules and atoms in a paticular material that depicts the colour/s we see when we view an object. I depends on what material the thing that we are viewing is made of. Certain molecules and atoms will absorb certain colours and other not... as an example, a red fruit has a certain chemical makeup that absorbs most visible light except red, thus it 'appears' red.

... my brain is beginning to hurt...

Would particles at the red end of the spectrum be vibrating faster than those at the violet end of the spectrum?

...Seeing as Violet has a shorter wavelength than red (shorter means faster) then I suppose not.

Im not a professor, but has this helped at all?

Hi Chad

Thankyou heaps for your well thought out reply. I wasn't alerted by email that anyone had posted a response, so I've only just found your reply today. I will print it out and have a read when I have more time. I have done more reading since the post and I am gradually getting a grasp about how it all fits together and yes I understand how it makes your brain hurt :)

I will also make a point of checking out the site that you have recommended. I'm on a bit of an energy understanding journey and how it all fits together and how it affects us. Albert Einstein has turned out to be quite an interesting character, and who'da thought when a lot of people think he's a boring old E=MC2 dude. That formula in itself really puts things into perspective once it's looked into, not that I fully get it, but I'll keep searching.

Any how Thanks again and I don't spose you'd like to comment on my thoughts about Rainbow Night Charkra Healing :eek:

All the best
