Principle of Dyeing Physics
- Defining color and physical-psychological specification of it and the effective factors on color
- Light, color and the electromagnetic spectrum. The wave behavior of light and particle theory
- Natural and artificial light sources and their spectral power distribution (SPD) curves
- Black bodies (planckian radiators), color temperature and correlated color temperature. The properties of artificial light sources: lamp efficacy and color rendering
- Definition of photometry and a brief review to photometric and radiometric quantities (common terms in photomtry) and their units
- Modification of light by materials. Snell and Fresnel laws. Transparent, translucence and opaque materials. Fluorescence and phosphorescence phenomena
- Beer -Lambert and Kubelka-Munk laws and their application to color control and color measurement
- Mechanism of the human eye and its similarity to a photographic system, photosensitive cells and their spectral responsivity curves
- Mechanism of color vision and two related theory; Young-Helmholtz trichromaticity theory and Hering opponent-color theory
- Color specification systems; Munsell color order system (physical color space) and CIE standard colorimetric system (virtual color space). Additive and subtractive color mixing. Grassmann's laws
- RGB color specification system and its conversion to XYZ color specification system (1931XYZ color system)
- Tristimuluis values and chromaticity diagram. CIE standard illuminants and light sources. Color matching functions
- Uniform color spaces. The linear and non linear transformations of CIEXYZ system and development of CIELAB 1976 color space. Color difference equations based on CIELAB; the CMC (l:c) or CIE94 formula
- Using one dimensional scale for color specification. Whiteness and yellowness scales and their indices
- Color measurement: visual and instrumental color assessment. Color measuring instruments, colorimeters and spectrophotometers. Metamerism
- The principal of colorimetric and spectrophotometric color matching
