What are the colors of viable light?
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. However the human eye is actually only sensitive to RED, GREEN and BLUE light.
A failure of the red-sensitive nerves in the eye to respond to respond to light properly causes?
Color blindness is the failure of the red sensitive nerves in the eye that don't respond to light properly.
Why is the eye more sensitive for red colors?
It's not. The eye is most sensitive to lime-green. Specifically, light in the neighborhood of 564 nm wavelength.
Why are danger signals in red when eye is most sensitive to yellow-green?
because human eye is sensitive to yellow and green, it has become a tradition to use red as a signal for caution also red colour has largest longest wavelength
What color is Human eye sensitive to?
It is either red, yellow, or green that's why most fire trucks and ambulences are red
A failure of the red-sensitive nerves in the eye to respond to light properly causes?
color blindness
What are the primary colours for light?
For LIGHT : red, green, and blue. (as far as the human eye is concerned).
What wavelengths can the human eye see?
Human eye is sensitive to an approximate range of wave length of EM radiation from 380nm to 760nm. This portion of electromagnetic spectrum is identified as "visible light" These wavelengths roughly correspond to the colors violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.
How can the human eye see objects and color?
Using light sensitive cells in the retina of the eye called rods and cones. Rods are not color sensitive, they only respond to the intensity of light. Cone cells come in three color sensitive types: red, green, and blue. Note: mammals other then primates (humans are primates) only have two types of cones: green and blue; birds and reptiles have four types of cone cells: red, green, blue, and ultraviolet.
What does a failure of the red sensitive nerves in the eye to respond to light properly cause?
color blindnessRed/ Green color blindness.
What light sensitive cells in the eye see colours?
the cones of your photoreceptive layer they are three colors red blue and green
What is specialised about the eye cone cell?
The cone cells in the human eye are responsible for colour vision and come in 3 types, each sensitive to either Red, Green or Blue light. The brain then uses the information from these to generate our view of the complete visible spectrum.
