Why is it difficult to perceive color in dim light?
Your retina has more than one type of cell that perceives and transmits light. Cones are cells that respond to color, but they respond best in bright light. In very dim light, the cells that respond to light are called rods, which are blind to color.
Which structure of the eye contains the photoreceptors?
no. they are called eyes. photoreceptors are cells within the eye that respond to light such as cones and rods.
What are light sensitive cells that respond to dim light?
rods are our or dim light and peripheral vision receptors
What colors do rod cells respond to?
shades of light and dark but mostly green
Rods and cones are sensory cells that respond to light and are known functionally as?
photoreceptors
How do you explain that the pencil appears broken in the glass of water?
A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air. This is called "refraction".A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air.

In what important function are the cells of you eyes involved?
Retina of human eye has 2 types of cells called cone cells and rod cells. Cone cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina. The function of these cells is in bright light. Rod cells function in less bright light. There are 4.5 million cone cells and 90 million rod cells in human retina. There are three types of cone cells. First type of cone cells called L which respond to light of long wavelength with peak sensitivity in the yellow region. Second type of cone cells are called M which respond to light of medium wavelength with peak sensitivity in the green region. Third type of cone cells called S which respond to light of short wavelength with peak sensitivity in the violet region.So, cone cells are not related with eye vision but are related with the perception of color. That is why if a person born without corn cell will be able to see but he will have another problem called color blindness.You can find the detailed diagram on this site examville.com for better understanding of the topic.
What is it called when light waves traveling in one direction are made to travel in many different directions?
Light travels in the direction it was emitted. Light cannot steer itself towards any particular object.
What is reflection for light?
A shining or polished surface changes the direction of light.This change in direction is called reflection of light.
The sensory receptors specialized to respond to light energy are?
Sensory receptors are a type of sensory nerve. The sensory receptors that are specialized to respond to light energy are called stimuli.
What is reflection of light in random directions called?
It is called scattering light if it is in random directions, or refraction if the light changes direction.
What happens to light waves when they pass through a window?
The light changes its direction. In case you want to do more reading on the subject, this is called "refraction".The light changes its direction.
