You have little organs in your eyes called rods and cones that depict how the light waves are set up, and through your optic nerve, they send these images to your brain.

How does light become an image?
In the eye, light becomes a visible image due to the organs in the back of your eye called 'cones and rods'. These are situated along the retina, inside the eyeball. Cones pick up colour, while rods pick up shades of black and white, and how light or dark a certain image will appear. The light image that is made in the eyeball is actually upside down when it is sent along the optic nerve to the brain (as electric pulses) because the lens in your eye is convex which, when light passes through it, refracts light so the end image is an upside down replica. The brain then flips the image upside down, which becomes the image you see. People become colour blind when they are missing certain colour receptors, which register the 3 primary colours red, blue and green. **Side note: 1 in every 15 men are colour blind, while only 1 in 1000 women are.**
Why is a normal eye not able to see clearly objects placed closer than 25cms?
Light from objects that we see has to be focused by the eye to give a sharp image on the retina. Light from near objects is very divergent (spreading out), and the lens of the eye has to become very thick to focus it. As there is a limit to how thick we can make the lens, there is a near point beyond which we cannot focus.
When you look through a window why can you see objects outside?
You see things through your eye. All objects reflect light. Therefore, when light from a object reaches you eye it forms an image. This is how you see.
How do the lenss in a microscope magnify an image?
A convex lens bends the light that goes through it toward a focal point. The light spreads out again past this focal point. Magnifying glasses are convex lenses. When you use one, the lens bends the light rays so that they come together and focus on the lens within your eye. The light then spreads out as the rays continue past the focal point, and they hit the retina of the eye. The spreading of the light makes the image viewed appear much larger than it really is because it causes the image to take up more space on the retina. Moving the magnifying glass closer or farther away from the eye will change how much the light is spread on the retina. The closer the magnifying glass is to the eye, the bigger the image will appear.
In order lists the lenses in the light path between a speciman viewed with the compound light microscope and its image on the retina of the eye?
ocular objective condenser iris diaphragm
How do eye glasses improve the sight of a nearsighted person?
They correct the path of the light entering the eye so that it will focus a sharp image on the retina.
What is the pathway light?
The pathway of light is light through the eye to the cornea. This is the path that light takes when entering the eye.
What is the pathway of light?
The pathway of light is light through the eye to the cornea. This is the path that light takes when entering the eye.
Where do light rays form an image in the eye?
It doesn't form an image on the eye but in the brain.
One function of a refracting telescope?
The nominal function of any telescope is to enlarge the image of a distant object and that is the same for reflecting or refracting or hybrid telescopes. That said, it is a better description of a telescope to say it is a light collector that brings into an image (on the eye or photo sensor of the user) the light that is given off by some distant object. The aperture of a telescope is much much larger than the aperture (iris) of the human eye, so whatever object is being viewed is producing light an a much greater quantity of light is entering the telescope than would be entering the eye. More light allows the image being viewed to be enlarged and still visible to the human eye.
What structure controls the amount of light that gets in the eye?
Iris controls the amount of light entering into the eye.
What effect on light entering the eye does the cornea have?
yes
What do pupils control?
amount of light entering eye
Why are everyones pupil black?
The choroid layer in the eye has a black color pigment on it. Also, the light entering the eye is not reflected because light rays entering the pupil are absorbed by the tissues inside the eye.
The image of an object formed on the retina of the human eye is?
The image of an object formed on the retina of the human eye is called Image Formation. Image Formation is the natural processing of light through the eye.
How do the eye and brain perceive a holographic image?
The eye and brain perceive a holographic image due to the fact that light enters the eye. The light is then converted into information through the optic nerve.
What refracts most of the light entering the eye?
LENS
