Um, woah. Ya got me there. Since yellow and green light have different
wavelengths I think the eye would sense a difference, and some color
(other than pure white) would be percieved. I'm not sure what color, or
what affect intensities have. It's been about 5 years since I took
physics. :)

Can anyone help us out?
