What is the light source that allows us to see the moon?

The light source that allows us to see the moon is the sun. The sun's light reflects off the surface of the moon, making it visible to us on Earth.


How can you explain the fact that we see a great range of colors even though only three cone tpyes exist?

This is because multiple cones may be activated at the same time allowing us to see many colors. The three cones may not always be activated to capacity, and the blending of the activations allows us to see variations of color, just as you could mix different amounts of paint colors (red green and blue) to create many colors.


Why does the human eye observe all colors of rainbow?

The human eye observes all colors of the rainbow due to the presence of three types of cone cells in the retina, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light: short (blue), medium (green), and long (red). When light passes through rain droplets, it refracts, reflecting and dispersing into various colors. This dispersion allows us to see the full spectrum of colors, which our brain interprets as a continuous range from red to violet. Consequently, we perceive the rainbow as a vibrant display of colors.


How do you we see non luminous objects?

We see object from the light they either produce or reflect. The Sun gives off light waves. An object absorbs all colors but what you see. The reflected light then travels to your eyes where it is interpreted.

What is the answer to cells in the eye allows us to see colors?

Cells in the eye called cones are responsible for allowing us to see colors. Cones are photoreceptor cells located in the retina that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light, which enables us to perceive a range of colors.


What type of wave allows us to see?

Visible light waves allow us to see. These waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are detected by our eyes, which can interpret them as colors and images.

Why can't you see the colours of light?

The colors present in light are detected by special cells in our eyes called cones. Each type of cone cell is sensitive to a specific range of light wavelengths, which allows us to see colors. If any of these cone cells are not functioning properly or are missing, it can affect our ability to see certain colors.

Which part of the electro magnetic spectrum allows us to see?

The visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum allows us to see. This portion of the spectrum ranges from about 400 to 700 nanometers in wavelength, with colors ranging from violet to red. Our eyes are sensitive to this range of wavelengths, allowing us to perceive light and colors in our environment.
