What the study of light and vision?
i think the study of light and vision is optics. Im pretty sure.
What is translucent and opaque definition?
Opaque means not allowing vision or light through. Translucent means allowing light, but not vision.
Are 'infrared light' and 'night vision' the same thing?
NO Infrared light show the heat of the body
In vision light rays first pass through the?
Lens
Why does a pencil look broken when placed in water?
Refraction will make the light change direction, when it changes from water to air.Refraction will make the light change direction, when it changes from water to air.Refraction will make the light change direction, when it changes from water to air.Refraction will make the light change direction, when it changes from water to air.
What is another name for sharpness of vision?
Sharpness of vision is also called visual acuity.-Visual acuity is determined by the ability to see visual details (in normal light).
How do rods and cones differ functionally?
Rods: dim light and peripheral vision receptors, more sensitive to light Cones: operate in bright light and provide high acuity color vision
Changes in the eyes during middle adulthood gradually cause loss of visual acuity requiring both physical and psychological adjustments What is the overall effect on vision?
Sensitivity to light and ability to focus are both reduced
What does a telescope do to improve your vision of the night sky?
It magnifies the available (ambient) light. Night-vision technology amplifies available light by as much as 40,000 times.
Eye vision changes color in different light?
nob
How do night vision devices work?
Simply by intensifying the available light - from stars, ambient light, etc.
What is the substance that makes animals eyes twinkle?
A reflective membrane called the tapetum lucidumis located in the back of the eye in certain animal species. This reflective membrane gathers in available light and allows such animals to have "night vision" or increased visual acuity in low light situations. This characteristic is typical of nocturnal and deep water species. This also accounts for the "flashback" when you take a flash picture of a pet.
Can babies see?
Yes. In fact, babies rely on vision to know the difference between Mommy and a stranger. While their vision is not fully developed, they can distinguish colors, changes in light and depth (to an extent).
How good is a roseate spoonbills eyesight?
The Roseate Spoonbill is well-equipped for fishing, with quick reflexes and visual acuity allowing it to stalk and prey on fish swimming near it. Its vision is mainly adapted for low levels of light, since it feeds in the early morning and evening twilight hours, and it has good night vision as well.
What can you see if you?
Nothing! Joking aside, there are several categories of what is considered "blindness". Statutory blindness or legal blindness is (in the US) any vision that is 20/200 or less in the better eye with the best correction possible. This means that a legally blind person would have to stand 20 feet from an object to see it, whereas a normally sighted person could stand 200 feet away from the same object and still see it. Additionally, people with an average acuity who have a visual field of less than 20 degrees are also classified as legally blind. Only about 10 percent of those classified as legally blind have absolutely no vision. The rest have some vision, ranging from light perception alone to relatively good acuity in comparison. === === * The term NLP, or "no light perception", describes those without any light perception or form whatsoever. This is what most people think of when they hear the word "blind". * A person with "light perception" can tell whether a room contains light or is dark. * A person with "light projection" can tell the direction of a light source. * A person with "form" can tell the basic shape of an object. * A person with statutory blindness is anyone with a visual field of less than 20 degrees or a visual acuity of 20/200 or less. * The term "low vision" is used to describe visual acuity from 20/70 to 20/200. Magnifiers and certain types of glasses may aid people with low vision. So what do people with NLP see? Nothing. For me, describing "nothing" to a sighted person is just as difficult as describing the color orange to a blind person - and perhaps more so.

Why is easier to see faint star in the sky if you look slightly to the side of the star instead of straight at it?
This is because the 'edges' of your eyes, i.e. the parts which are involved in peripheral vision, are highly populated by photoreceptor cells known as 'rods', which have greater visual acuity and are responsible for vision at low light level. This is also why you can see better out of the corner of your eye in darkness. The centre of your eye, or fovea, is more exclusively populated by 'cones', another kind of photoreceptor responsible for vision in higher light levels.
