What are you working on? August 2012

This is the bimonthly 'What are you working On?' thread. Previous threads are here. So here's the question:

What are you working on?

Here are some guidelines:

Focus on projects that you have recently made progress on, not projects that you're thinking about doing but haven't started.
Why this project and not others? Mention reasons why you're doing the project and/or why others should contribute to your project (if applicable).
Talk about your goals for the project.
Any kind of project is fair game: personal improvement, research project, art project, whatever.
Link to your work if it's linkable.

I was thinking about that.

Right now I have it set up to use a period of a sin wave to represent how much reception that color gets from that frequency. Integrating that times the blackbody radiation thing gets some crazy result. If I use a bell curve instead, it's much shorter, but it involves a polylog.

I might be able to get away with having the receptor things only work with one frequency if all the colors are spread out enough.

Also, I don't know how the radiation spectrum works when the object isn't black, or how to look it up.

Well, all you want is a reasonable approximation. I would just say "It has this colour inside the visible spectrum, and blackblody otherwise".
