Light receptors are found in the eye. There are two types of receptors; rods and cones. Rods produce the black and white pigments and the Cones produce the color pigments.

The dim light receptors are the?
rods are our or dim light and peripheral vision receptors
Can You List 3 Stimuli And The Receptors Used To Detect Them?
Touch - Mechanical receptors Light- Photo receptors Heat- Thermo receptors
Do auditory receptors detect light?
No, auditory receptors do not detect light. Auditory receptors are sensory cells that respond to sound waves, which are pressure waves with frequencies between 16 hertz and 20,000 hertz. Light, on the other hand, is an electromagnetic wave with frequencies ranging from about 400 terahertz to 790 terahertz. Auditory receptors are located in the inner ear, in the basilar membrane of the organ of Corti, while light receptors are located in the retina of the eye. Therefore, auditory receptors and light receptors are different types of sensory cells that detect different types of stimuli.
What part of the eye contain the receptors?
The retina is the part of the eye that contains light receptors.
Why in poor light you cant percieve the true colours of objects?
Our eyes have both black-and-white receptors, and color receptors. The black-and-white receptors work at low light levels; the color recepters require a higher light intensity.
What are the receptors for light?
Photoreceptors - rods and cones.
What are the different names of the receptors?
Taste - gustatory receptors (taste buds) Vision - optical receptors (retina and optic nerve) Hearing - phono receptors (cochlea - inner ear) Smell - olfactory receptors (nose) Touch - tactile receptors (skin, tongue) (Also : Heat - thermo receptors.)
What are the receptors for bright light vision called?
cones
What are the visual receptors that function in low light?
Rods
What are the sensory receptors for light?
Photoreceptors - rods and cones.
What are the five general areas of sensation?
General sensory receptors such as light touch and temperature receptors are located over the entire surface of the body. There are no specific areas where these receptors are located.
What receptors are sensitive to changes in the intensity of light energy?
photoreceptors
