Is it true that if you mix 100% RGB on a TV screen you get white
if not where does the white come from?

Yes, true, discovered by Brit scientist back when people wore wigs and gravity was new! But, only RGB LIGHT RGB pigment (paint) is black

Yes it is true. To check, use a photo editing software like Photoshop, and increase the value of Red, Green and Blue (0 - 256). When all the colours have a value of 256, you see white colour.

Try getting a colour wheel, put a pencil through the middle and then spin it.
You see RGB make white.

yes this is true in light but not with paint and stuff. It's because certain colours stimulate different cells in your eye- telling your brain there is red or yellow etc. If the cells receive all the wavelengths of light then they interpret this as white
(White light is made up of all the colours of the rainbow)

Yes it's true. Red, green and blue light mix to produce white light. This is different to print/ink colour mix though, which uses cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) to produce different colours. Ink obviously can't produce white. It depends on the background paper colour for that.

The human eye is able to come back across more suitable frequencies of sunshine than in basic terms red, eco-friendly, and blue. even if, the three kinds of retinal cone cells each and each have *height* sensitivities on the frequencies such as red, eco-friendly, and blue. the feeling of 'white' is in basic terms all 3 kinds of retinal cone cells being inspired right now. this may properly be carried out in a lot of techniques, at the same time with: one million) Hitting the retina with 3 human being frequencies of sunshine, such as red, eco-friendly, and blue 2) Hitting the retina with a large spectrum of sunshine, such as a colour temperature of 5800 Kelvin (the temperature of the floor of the solar). A CRT television makes use of approach one million) by skill of illuminating red, eco-friendly, and blue pixels. in case you look at a chunk of white paper in solar, you're using approach 2).

100% Red Green Blue makes white [on a computer monitor].

It's true you can see for yourself, try making a spinning top and colour each section a different colour, when you spin it, it will appear white.
RGB are the primary colours of light.
