Physics Classroom is making strides to make our site accessible to
everyone, and features many accessibility features.
Our site contains 6 navigation areas. The Primary, Secondary,
and Page Level navigations have a screen reader version of their nav
structure that allows using the left and right keys to navigate sibling
navigation items, and up or down keys to navigate parent or child
navigation items. The others can be navigated using tabs.
Within the main content, we leverage headers to provide in page or
in tool navigation.
Although we are still rebuilding our content to leverage these tools,
our images should have both short and verbose descriptions, the later
describing in great detail the image for those who cannot see. Any
formulas found within the images are often in the image figure below the image.
Equations and formulas are rendered using MathJax, which has both verbal,
braille (including nemath braille), and keyboard navigation within them.
Learn how to configure and leverage this for various screen readers on our
Equation Navigation Page.
While not every area of
Physics Classroom is usable purely from keyboard and screen reader, we
are committed to continue work on making this possible. If you have
questions or need additional help, please use

The Color Addition Video Tutorial explains the physics of color and color vision. Using the incident-absorbed-reflected model, Mr. H explains how our eyes perceive color. Primary colors of light are defined and identified and the manner in which they add together to form secondary colors and the host of other colors is discussed.
The video lesson answers the following questions:
1.Why do we see color?
2. How can we reduce the complicated world of color into a few simple and understandable principles?
Physics Interactive: RGB Addition
Sometime you just have to play to learn. And that's what you can do with this simulation. Drag the sliders to mix red, green, and blue light in various intensities and observe the result.
Minds On Physics the App, Part 5, Light and Color Module, Mission LC3
If you want a Physics work out, then you will find it in our Minds On Physics apps. Puchase it for your phone or tablet and start lifting Mission LC3 pertains to the primary colors of light and color addition. Don't forget to use the textbook icon for help.
Physics Interactive: RGB Addition
This interactive simulation allows students to manipulate the intensity of red, green, and blue light and observe the result. It is accompanied by a ready-to-use classroom activity. It makes for a great addition to any lesson plan.
Concept Builder: Color Addition and Subtraction
If you're not using Concept Builders, then you need to check it out. These interactive questioning modules probe student understanding in a playful manner ... with Stars, Trophies, and Dataways. With a Task Tracker account, you can easily track student progress. It's easy-peasy.
Minds On Physics the App, Part 5, Light and Color Module, Mission LC3
Our Minds On Physics apps provide serious students a challenging tool for improving their game. App #5 includes three modules, one of which is Light and Color. Mission LC3 is a great complement to this Video Tutorial.
Teacher Toolkits - Color Addition and Subtraction
We love our Teacher Toolkits. You will too. They include a collection of annotated links to vetted resources from accross the web that we feel coordinate very well with the resources on our own website. Check this one out!
