The cells in the retina of the eye that detect light are called what?
Rods are sensitive to absence of light cos they are responsible for night vision or black and white vision while cones are sensitive to presence of light cos they are responsible for colour vision
How many light receptors does the eye have?
There are to types of cells that act as photoreceptors in the eye. The Rod and Cones. Rods detect only the presence or absence of light withough distinguishing between colours thus giving black nad white vision (as at night). Cones detect coloured in the images but are less sensitive, ie they require more light to function.
What are the cells of the retina that detect color?
cones for color,rod are for black and white
Why light of some fireworks looks white?
light is frequency as our eyes detect the frequency spectrum of colors white is the brightest that we can see. Of course black is just the absence of light
What are the two types of human visual receptors?
The two kinds of receptor in the eye are rods and cones. Rods only see in black and white but are very light sensitive (that's why you see in black and white when it is almost dark) and cones which allow you to see in colour.
Do rods detect color in eye receptors?
Rods are used to detect variances in light and are perceived as black, grey and white. Cones are used to pick up colors.
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.
Why are you seeing colors at all?
Because your eyes have cones that detect color. Rods detect black and white.
What are light receptors?
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.
How can you detect black line on the white surface in line following robot?
The robot has sensors in its base that detect to difference in brightness between the white surface and the black line. It is programmed to stay on the black line by computer software.

Rods are sensitive to absence of light cos they are responsible for night vision or black and white vision while cones are sensitive to presence of light cos they are responsible for colour vision

What cells in the eye that detect black and white?
Cones help distinguish color. Rods help us with black and white.

cones for color,rod are for black and white
What is color vision?
That part of the vision that is perceived by the cones of the eye. Rods detect black and white.
Do platypuses see in black and white?
No. Because platypuses' eyes contain cone receptors, it is believed they can also see colour.
How does your c gear detect other c gears in Pokemon black and white?
Infer red... I think...
