The Physics and Chemistry of Color

The Fifteen Causes of Color

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Warum sind Blätter grün, Rubine rot und manche Augen blau, warum schillern Schmetterlingsflügel in allen Regenbogenfarben? Antworten auf diese Fragen aus der Physik und der Chemie der Farben wurden in diesem Buch disziplinübergreifend, allgemeinverständlich und interessant aufbereitet. Die zahlreichen Beispiele reichen von organischen Farbpigmenten über die Farben von Mineralien und Edelsteinen bis zu Tieren und Pflanzen oder atmosphärischen Farbspielen.
