Question

how does the ?max and the broadness of different spectral features influence the overal color we observe from a light source?

1) both ?max and the broadness of spectral featuers can affect which colors we observe.

2) the broadness of spectral features is the ONLY factor that determines the color of observed light.

3) ?max determines the brightness of the observed light while the broadness of a spectral feature dictates what color we observe.

4) ?max is the ONLY factor that determines the color of observed light.

im thinking that it is 3, wave length determining the brightness and broadness dictating what color we observe...

am i wrong?

max is the wavelength at which the maximum fraction of light is absorbed by a compound. And the broadness determines the colour range.

Thus, max determines the brightness of the observed light while the broadness of a spectral feature dictates what color we observe.
