I do not remember the exact science of it, but it has to do with the photo receptors in your eyes. There are two kinds of receptors in your eyes: cones which focus on color and rods, which focus on light. There are 3 kinds of cones: those that see blue, green or red (i.e. short wavelengths, medium and long.) When more than one wavelength reaches the cones (say a medium one (green) and a long one (red)) then the cones that receive these two wavelengths (i.e. the red and the green cones) cancel each other out and the Blue receptor is stimulated instead.
The blue cone can see either blue or yellow. If it receives a short wave, it sees blue, but if the green and red cones are stimulated at the same time (remember they cancel each other out), then the blue cone is stimulated to see YELLOW.
