In dim light, your pupil expands. In bright light, your pupil contracts. Your pupil contracts in bright light because not as much light is needed to see. Same thing with dim light, your pupil expands in dim light because there is more light needed to see. Because there is not as much light in a closet than in an open field your pupil contracts and expands to let in more light or let in less light, depending on were you are at and how dark it is.
What else can I help you with?
When does pupil contract?
The pupil contracts in response to bright light to limit the amount of light entering the eye. It dilates in low light conditions to allow more light to enter the eye for improved vision. This process is controlled by the iris muscle.
How does a thermometer measure temperature accurately?
A thermometer measures temperature accurately by using a substance that expands or contracts with changes in temperature, such as mercury or alcohol. As the substance expands or contracts, it moves along a scale to indicate the temperature. The thermometer is calibrated to ensure accurate readings.
How do rotary thermometers work?
Rotary thermometers work by utilizing a bimetallic coil that expands or contracts in response to changes in temperature. This coil is connected to a pointer, which moves along a calibrated scale to indicate the temperature. As the coil expands or contracts, it rotates the pointer to provide a temperature reading.
How does mercury work in a thermometer to measure temperature accurately?
Mercury in a thermometer expands and contracts with changes in temperature. As the temperature rises, the mercury expands and rises in the tube, and as the temperature falls, the mercury contracts and lowers in the tube. This movement is then converted into a temperature reading on the scale of the thermometer, allowing for accurate temperature measurement.
What happens to particles when an object expands and contracts?
When an object expands, the particles within the object move farther apart from each other, increasing the object's volume. When the object contracts, the particles move closer together, decreasing its volume. This expansion and contraction occur due to changes in temperature, pressure, or other external factors.
What happens when The radial muscles of the iris contract?
When the eye is stimulated by bright light, the circular muscle of the iris contracts, decreasing the size of the pupil.
Where does the iris go when your pupil dilates?
When your pupil dilates, the iris expands outward and becomes thinner, allowing more light to enter the eye. The iris doesn't physically move or change position when the pupil dilates; it simply adjusts its shape to regulate the amount of light entering the eye.
What is the homonym of student part of a eye?
pupil = student and pupil = part of the eye Technically, pupil represents a homograph. Words that are spelled the same but have different meanings.
What controls the amount of light that enters the eyes?
The pupil contracts or expands (dilates) to regulate the entry of light to the retina in the eye.The iris or colored part of the eye is what controls the diameter of the pupil by covering or uncovering it.
Pupil gets larger it dilates pupil gets smaller it?
Contracts
What happened to it when the light was flashed into eye?
When the eye detects bright light, the iris expands causing the hole at its centre (the pupil) to shrink in size. The brighter the light the smaller the pupil becomes. This happens because, in a dark place, the eye needs to take in as much light as possible to see better so the pupil expands; in a light place, the eye could be damaged due to over exposure to light so the pupil shrinks. The scientific word for "shrinks" is "contracts"
The result of the pupil of your eye in a dark room?
Your pupil expands in the dark in order to obtain more light.
Does a thermometer's mercurry expand contract on condenses?
it expands and contracts when the temperature drops, the mercury contracts...when the temperature increases, the mercury expands
What state of matter expands with cold and contracts with heat?
Well, solids. For example, when you heat up metal is expands and when you freeze it, it contracts
Which part of the human eye controls how much light enters?
The iris controls the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil. In bright light, the iris contracts, making the pupil smaller to reduce the amount of light. In dim light, the iris expands, making the pupil larger to allow more light to enter.
Which organ of the respiratory system expands and contracts automatically to force air into and out of the lungs?
The diaphragm expands and contracts automatically, forcing air into and out of the lungs.
How pupil helps us to see from dark region to lighted one?
the pupil contracts and expands in response to light. In dark areas, the pupil will expand allowing more light to enter allowing us to see better in darkness. In well lit areas it will contract allowing less light to enter, allowing us to see in better detail
