In some sites (e.g. https://midimagic.sgc-hosting.com/huvision.htm) I see charts of light sensitivity curves looking different. Namely, the curve of the red-sensitive cones has a second (tiny) peak in the violet range. It is said: |
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>The erythropsin in the red-sensitive cones is sensitive to two ranges of wavelengths. The major range is between 500 nm and 760 nm, peaking at 600 nm. This includes green, yellow, orange, and red light. The minor range is between 380 nm and 450 nm, peaking at 420 nm. This includes violet and some blue. The minor range is what makes the hues appear to form a circle instead of a straight line.</blockquote> |
|
|
|
|
|
This small maximum is said to explain why the visible light with the shortest wavelength looks violet (rather than dark blue), while the visible light with the longest wavelength looks dark red. |
|

There is no reference to scientific papers neither numerical tables in https://midimagic.sgc-hosting.com/huvision.htm. I have not found any evidence of that in Misplaced Pages except that of a bird's cone cells rather than human's (see the chart): |

Is this a fake science or an obsolete disproved theory? If not, could anybody find a reference to an authoritative source?] (]) 08:37, 28 April 2019 (UTC) |

:I don't know where this comes from. Possibly there's a confusion between the absorption curves (like that above in birds) and the spectral sensitivity? Or there are incorrect inferences from the basis functions used in typical RGB spaces? ] (]) 15:56, 28 April 2019 (UTC) |
