What is opaque in science?

Opaque basically means that something is not transparent; light can not pass through. For an example: the choroid of the eye is opaque, it absorbs excessive light so multiple images do not appear on the retina. Keep in mind that absorbing light is not the same thing as passing through. The choroid basically stops too much light from hitting the retina.


What is the outer portion of the eye through which light passes to retina?

That part is called as pupil. Through this aperture the light goes in to retina.


First step for light enter eye?

The steps of light being received by the eye are: generation of light passage of light to the eye through the tear film through the cornea through the aqueous humor through the lens through the vitreous humor through the layers of the retina to the photoreceptors of the retina


What do many animals have on the back of their eyeballs to help them see at night?

The tapetum helps them see at night. It is behind the retina. When light goes through the retina, it strikes the tapetum and passes back through the retina, illuminating the image on the retina a second time. This is why it looks like their eyes glow when light hits them at night. The light is escaping out through the pupil.


What part of eye does light pass?

through the lens to the retina


Where are light signals that pass through the eye interpreted?

retina


When images pass through our eyes why do they appear upside down on the back of your eye?

The light (in the form of photons) travel in a straight line, passing through the pupil and striking the retina. If you imagine the path the light is taking while you look at a tall object, light from the top will be angled down and strike the bottom of your retina, while light from the bottom will strike the top. That's they they appear upside down at the back of the eye.


How does light first enter the eyes?

The steps of light being received by the eye are: generation of light passage of light to the eye through the tear film through the cornea through the aqueous humor through the lens through the vitreous humor through the layers of the retina to the photoreceptors of the retina


Name the sequence of all the transparent materials in the human eye that light passes through on its way to the retina?

Lens, Cornea, Humerus focus light into the retina


What effect has the condenser lens on light rays passing through it?

The condenser adjusts the amount of light passing through the specimen.


Does the lens in your eye attract light first?

No part of the eye "attracts" light. Light enters the eye by passing through the cornea and the aqueous humour before getting to the lens. After being focused by the lens, light passes through the vitreous humour to the retina.


What does a beam of light pass throgh to get to the retina?

The cornea is the clear front surface of the eye, which acts like a camera lens, and allows light through to reach the retina.
