Contents.Scientific Perception The perception of darkness differs from the mere absence of light due to the effects of on perception. In perceiving, the eye is active, and the part of the retina that is unstimulated produces a complementary afterimage. Physics In terms of physics, an object is said to be dark when it absorbs, causing it to appear dim compared to other objects. For example, matte black paint does not reflect much visible light and appears dark, whereas white paint reflects lots of light and appears bright. For more information, see. An object may appear dark, but it may be bright at a frequency that humans cannot perceive.A dark area has limited light sources, making things hard to see.

Exposure to alternating light and darkness (night and day) has caused several evolutionary adaptations to darkness. When a, like a human, enters a dark area, its dilate, allowing more light to enter the eye and improving. Also, the light detecting cells in the human eye will regenerate more unbleached when adapting to darkness.One scientific measure of darkness is the, which indicates the night sky's and stars' brightness at a particular location, and the observability of celestial objects at that location. (See also: )The material known as is one of the darkest substances known, absorbing up to 99.965% of visible light (at 663 nm if the light is perpendicular to the material) is a material developed by Surrey NanoSystems in the United Kingdom. The name is a compound of the acronym VANTA (vertically aligned nanotube arrays)6 and the color black.Technical The color of a, on a standard 24-bit, is defined by three RGB (red, green, blue) values, each ranging from 0-255. When the red, green, and blue components of a pixel are fully illuminated (255,255,255), the pixel appears white; when all three components are unilluminated (0,0,0), the pixel appears black.Cultural Artistic.

Shadows add depth and perspective to a painting.

Theoretically, mixing together the three primary colors, or the three secondary colors, will absorb all visible light and create black. In practice it is difficult to prevent the mixture from taking on a brown tint.Literature. Further information:As a poetic term in the, darkness is used to connote the presence of shadows, evil, and foreboding, or in modern parlance, to connote that a story is grim, heavy, and/or depressing.Religion The first creation narrative in begins with darkness, into which is introduced the creation of light, and the separation of this light from the darkness (as distinct from the creation of the sun and moon on the fourth day of creation).

Genip meant 'mist' and fell out of use like many. It is however still used in the saying 'in het geniep' which means secretly. Sceadu meant 'shadow' and remained in use.

The word dark eventually evolved from the word deorc. See also.References. Outlines of Psychology. Horner, David T.
