Tech/Engineering - Physics / Colour science | | English term or phrase: Red is left to reflect to your eyes | Article sur le toner et la théorie des couleurs:
To create a Red image on paper, you must mix an even amount of Yellow toner and Magenta toner.
Yellow absorbs Blue
Magenta absorbs Green
Red is left to reflect to your eyes
Merci pour votre aide!! Je comprends la phrase et le principe, mais peut-on utiliser "réfléchit" ici? |

27 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +2 | red is left to reflect to your eyes il ne reste donc que la lumière rouge qui se réfléchit vers vos yeux
Explanation:
I think this is a genuine use of 'reflect', and so I think the word probably can (should) be used in FR too. There are lots of similar usages where the verb 'réfléchir' is indeed used.

2 hrs confidence:
1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 | red is left to reflect to your eyes seul le rouge est réflété vers vos yeux
Explanation:
Tout objet absorbe et réflète une partie de la lumière. La couleur apparente d'un corps dépend des longueurs d'ondes (c'est-à-dire des couleurs) qui ne sont pas absorbées, mais réflétées. Un objet blanc réfléchit toutes les couleurs, un objet noir les absorbe toutes. Mettre un "toner", c'est faire en sorte d'absorber plus de longueurs d'ondes (de couleurs) de manière en n'en voir que certaines réfléchies.
Je suis absoluement convaincu qu'il convient d'utiliser le verbe "réfléchir".

Plutôt: "seul le rouge est réfléchit vers vos yeux"
