Comment on is white light "white" because that's what our start emits?
Yareckt@lemmynsfw.com 2 days agoI’d assume if we lived on a world where UV or infrared wavelengths were the most intense we’d evolve eyes to work around the problems that our eyes have. There probably is an upper and lower limit to the wavelengths that animals on earth have adapted to and there probably also is some physical limit (imagine wavelengths of 1 kilometer). However the ability to see in the wavelength that is most intense is a big advantage since everything that does photosynthesis is probably that colour and being able to see those tasty morsels would be an advantage.
