K.A.Shah (AGPS) very nice.stories of physics r more detective in nature than the stories written by sir canon Doyle 9/28/2011
Charlie the invisible man could be invisible because he doesnt react with photons of visible light. But he could react with photons of infrared light and therefore he would see in infrared and still not be seen by the human eye. 5/9/2010
Jessica deJong Wells was a brilliant man, and accounted for many small scientific points. He explains how it is possible that the Invisible Man could see in Chapter 20. If you will recall, when describing the invisible cat he first experimented on, the Invisible Man explains that it was a failure because "the back part of the eye, tough iridescent stuff it is, wouldn't go at all." The "two little ghosts of her eyes" would presumably be enough for her eyes to refract light. One can only assume this would also occur in the Invisible Man as well. 1/8/2010
Adarsh when we say a object to be invisible..? when the light directly pass through it... if one can see the back view of the object. the objeck become completely invisible...! i have worked in it... and i have a sol. how man can be invisible but i don't have the equipments... 9/8/2009

Wing What about in the non-visible-light spectrum? He's not blind if he can see in infrared like the Predator. On the other hand, I'm sure he's vulnerable to heat seeking missiles... 2/18/2009
john why not just make contact lenses capable of absorbing the correct light. 9/16/2008
Frank But remember, when Griffin made the cat invisible, the backs of its eyes wouldn't "go". Otherwise, great article. 11/6/2007
K~* So blind people are completely helpless?
It might make for an interesting alternative story to see how he overcomes his blindness and uses his other senses to gain an advantage. I think the other great oversight of the book is that his feelings of invulnerability and omnipresence are translated into reality, whereas there are so many real barriers to an invisible man, should the townsfolk use their heads! How about a vanguard of blind people - an invisible man will still make sounds, will smell and give off heat and breath that could be felt. And footprints - thumbtacks, broken glass, flour - he is barefoot, after all!		 7/3/2007
Dr Babu Pillai The color of an OBJECT depends on the wavelengths of VISIBLE light produced or absorbed by it….
Visibility and Invisibility depends on the spectrum of light in the visible region….
Subtractive Color System theory….
If an object reflects all the light back to the viewer, it appears white. If an object absorbs (subtracts) all the light illuminating it, no light is reflected back to the viewer and it appears black. It is the subtractive process that allows everyday objects around us to show color….
When an Invisible man looks at a white object ….his eyes absorb all the visible light and appear as BLACK… and he becomes VISBLE…
