About this model

In order to understand the natural world we need to measure it. Access to scientific machinery has been historically limited to formal academic institutions and research laboratories. Now, we can all build measurement tools to conduct our own science experiments! In its simplest form, a colorimeter passes visible light of known wavelength and intensity through a liquid sample and measures the change in the light as it passes through. Comparing this value to a substance of known characteristics (control) we can infer particular differences between the two. Typically, colorimeters produce wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum and often include components native to human vision. The human eye has evolved to process intensities of red, green, and blue light and thus our colorimeter util…
