Anyway the answer is photon. |

Do you know why the answer is photon? Usually, there is some connection between the answer and the way to solve the riddle - but I do not understand what this has to do with photons...
ReplyDeleteNevermind, I get it now."
DeleteThe eye is able to perceive colors that may be described by 3 parameters, R,G,B - the amount of red,green,blue photons per second. The frequencies that contribute to R,G,B don't have to be exact - there are bell curves around the maximal frequencies - but they're projected to some values of R,G,B. A particular ratio between R,G,B looks like grey/white color of different brightness that increases with R,G,B. – Luboš Motl Mar 28 '13 at 19:01"
