Abstract

Publisher Summary This chapter distinguishes fifteen specific color-producing mechanisms originating in a variety of physical and chemical mechanisms, collected into five groups with the color originating in: simple excitations and vibrations, ligand (crystal) fields, molecular orbitals, energy bands, and geometrical and physical optics. The five groups of this classification break down in this way: three of them, simple excitations and vibrations, energy bands, and geometrical and physical optics are normally part of the physics curriculum; molecular orbitals are normally part of chemistry; and ligand (crystal) fields may be covered in either discipline.
