Quintessence The Physics of Great E-Marketing Blueshift marketing … what is it? Light is a form of energy and is composed of a bunch of waves Red light …longer, lower energy waves …cooler Blue light …shorter, higher energy waves … hotter Key physical law… movement and action affects wave perception - A lower energy wave can appear to be of higher energy through movement and action The same wave appears different based on its direction and movement
