Physical Properties of Light
• Physical properties is one of many different ways light can be classified/understood. • Aesthetic• Psychological• Physiological
• Physical Laws and Quantification• Light can be defined a ‘visually evaluated
radiant energy’.

Spectrum of Visible LightWhite light is broken into component colors when it is refracted through a prism.

Light as Radiant Energy
Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum
Visible Light
Infrared
Ultraviolet
Note that the eye is more sensitive to certain wavelengths or colors of light.

Selective Absorption of LightColor is seen when a material reflects selective wavelengths of light.
White is seen when a material reflects all of the wavelengths of a white light source.
When most of the light is reflected back at you

• Color is seen when a material reflects selective wavelengths of light.
• White is seen when a material reflects most of the wavelengths of a white light source. (White surfaces absorb 10-15% of the light.)
• When most of the light is absorbed by a material the color will be perceived as black. (Black reflects 10-15% of the light.)

CRI Color Rendering IndexCRI Indicates how well an objects colors are rendered by a light source.
Similar sources are compared to a set of eight specific colors. The better the source the higher CRI.
Scale of 0-100
90+ Very good.
A high CRI does not guarantee that all colors will be rendered well under the source. The CRI is just and indication that the source has a large range of color rendering.

CRI Color Rendering IndexTo ensure that colors and materials chosen for architectural interiors will render well they must be chosen under the light source that the will be installed.
Colors can appear different under different light sources.
Represents the relative color temperature of a light source.
Heated black body source compared to light sources.
Cool or Warm
