Chapter 16, Problem 7STP

To determine

To choose: The correct option.

Answer to Problem 7STP

The correct option is (B),red plus yellow produces magenta.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Red, blue and green are the three primary colors. Because mixing of these three colors with proper intensity produces a white color. Wide range of colors can be produced by mixing of two or three of these basic colors with differing amounts of intensity.

If red color is mixed with green then the result is yellow color. When blue and green color are mixed then the result is cyan. If red is mixed with yellow, the orange color is produced. Yellow color is produced if red and green are combined. So, if blue color is mixed with yellow color, the result will be white light due to the combination of three primary colors (Red, green and blue).

Out of the given options, the combination of red plus yellow is incorrect, as it will yield orange color instead of magenta.

Conclusion:

Therefore, option (B) is incorrect combination amongst all.
