Spectral Sensitivity

Spectral sensitivity refers to how well a device, sensor, or human eye detects or responds to different wavelengths of light within the electromagnetic spectrum. It describes which colors or ranges of light a system is most sensitive to—like how the human eye is most sensitive to green light. Understanding spectral sensitivity helps in designing cameras, sensors, and lighting that accurately capture or reproduce colors, ensuring that the way light is detected or recorded matches human perception or specific technical requirements.
