The band-pass nature of the eye’s spectral sensitivity biases the response to broadband stimuli relative to narrow spectra. Filtering a narrow spectrum primarily affects the height of the curve (top) while a broader spectrum is changed in shape (middle). To match the relative cone excitation to the narrow stimulus, the peak of the broader spectrum must usually be shifted (bottom).
