Movie 12 (:39)
Script : Without
colour correction, the world ahead turns blue, and the sun darkens
as visible light shifts into ultraviolet and above. This is matched
by a reddening behind. A rainbow ring appears in the sky as the
blue colour is shifted through the regions of the spectrum our
eyes detect as red and green.
We only see light
in a narrow range, ROY G BIV, and high speeds can easily shift
visible light above or below visible range.
Doppler shift effects are seen again in this mercator projection.Though
the distribution of energy in spectra means that the Doppler effect
will sometimes make an object look darker, this is not the only
effect changing the brightness of the tram.
