How come pure monocromatic light in the violet spectrum is perceived by us as light that is a superposition of 2 other, different wavelength light.
is there some scattering process in the eye that causes a both an filtration of one photon (lets say Red) and a shift in the wavelength of the Blue (like Compton/Raman scattering)?
Edit: I'm looking for at least a electrodynamical\quantum mechanical explanation. how come purple is "measured" when the wavefunction consists of 2 particles of different wavelength
