    Who is the first to describe the rainbow color spectrum?  - ProProfs

    Who is the first to describe the rainbow color spectrum? 

    • Galileo Gallili

    • Frank Moser 

    • John Beats 

    • Isaac Newton 

    Correct Answer
    A. Isaac Newton 
    Explanation
    Isaac Newton is credited with being the first to describe the rainbow color spectrum. In his work "Opticks" published in 1704, Newton conducted experiments with prisms and demonstrated that white light is composed of a spectrum of colors. He observed that when white light passes through a prism, it separates into its constituent colors, creating a rainbow-like spectrum. Newton's groundbreaking work laid the foundation for our understanding of the nature of light and color.

    What type of colours are obtained from other colors?  - ProProfs

    What type of colours are obtained from other colors? 

    • Secondary colors 

    • Primary colors 

    • Complex colors 

    • Special colors 

    Correct Answer
    A. Secondary colors 
    Explanation
    Secondary colors are obtained from other colors through the process of mixing primary colors. When two primary colors are combined in equal amounts, they create a secondary color. For example, mixing red and blue creates purple, mixing blue and yellow creates green, and mixing red and yellow creates orange. Therefore, secondary colors are derived from the combination of primary colors.

    What kind of cells makes perception of colours possible in humans?  - ProProfs

    What kind of cells makes perception of colours possible in humans? 

    • Cochlea cells 

    • Glia cells 

    • Rod cells 

    • Cone cells 

    Correct Answer
    A. Cone cells 
    Explanation
    Cone cells are responsible for making the perception of colors possible in humans. These cells are located in the retina of the eye and are sensitive to different wavelengths of light, allowing us to see and distinguish various colors.

    When was the rainbow color spectrum made public?  - ProProfs

    When was the rainbow color spectrum made public? 

    • 1567

    • 1621

    • 1789

    • 1671

    Correct Answer
    A. 1671
    Explanation
    In 1671, the rainbow color spectrum was made public. This suggests that prior to this year, the knowledge and understanding of the rainbow's color spectrum were not widely known or accessible to the public. It is likely that a significant scientific discovery or publication occurred in 1671, which brought attention to the phenomenon of the rainbow and its specific colors.

    What is the most complex color vision system?  - ProProfs

    What is the most complex color vision system? 

    • Chromatopods 

    • Stromatopods 

    • Sternomatopods 

    • Exteropods 

    Correct Answer
    A. Stromatopods 
    Explanation
    Stromatopods have the most complex color vision system. Stromatopods are marine crustaceans commonly known as mantis shrimps. They have an impressive array of photoreceptor cells in their eyes, allowing them to perceive a wide range of colors, including ultraviolet light. Their eyes are divided into three regions, each specialized for different tasks, such as detecting color, polarization, and motion. This complexity in their visual system enables stromatopods to have exceptional color discrimination and visual communication abilities.
