Elementary My Dear Episode 2: Colour and Light
Manage episode 312361993 series 3233599
Elementary My Dear is a 6 part podcast series by National Museums NI, hosted by Emer Maguire, where we explore the wonders of some of the most fascinating elements in the periodic table. Elements are everywhere! Each week we discuss their importance in unusual places, from their contribution to the art world, to the gold in mobile phones.
This episode is all about colour and light.
Emer talks to elements expert Mike Simms about the chemistry of colour; how elements have their own colourful barcodes, and if some people can be more sensitive to colour than others.
Additionally, art curator Kim Mawhinney joins us for a discussion on what makes a good piece of art.
