The primary stimulus detected in the eyes is light. Photoreceptor cells in the retina, specifically rods and cones, respond to different wavelengths of light, allowing us to perceive brightness, color, and contrast. This information is then processed and transmitted to the brain, enabling visual perception.

Our eyes adapt completely to repeated visual stimulus because
For a stimulus to be perceived, it must first be detected by sensory receptors, which convert the physical energy of the stimulus into neural signals. These signals are then transmitted to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted. Additionally, attention and prior experiences can influence perception, as they shape how we interpret sensory information. Overall, the interaction between the stimulus, sensory receptors, neural pathways, and cognitive processes is essential for perception to occur.

A change that causes a response in your body is a stimulus. When a stimulus is detected by the body, it triggers a reaction that helps maintain balance and homeostasis.

Visible light energy is detected by the eyes. This type of electromagnetic radiation has wavelengths between about 400 to 700 nanometers, which allows it to be detected by the photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye.
One characteristic of a stimulus is its intensity, which refers to the strength or magnitude of the stimulus. Intensity can affect how an organism perceives and responds to the stimulus; for example, a louder sound may elicit a stronger reaction than a softer one. Additionally, intensity can influence the threshold at which a stimulus is detected, impacting sensory processing and behavior.
The initial experience of a stimulus involves the detection of the stimulus by sensory receptors in the body, such as in the eyes, ears, or skin. This triggers a neural response that sends signals to the brain for processing and interpretation, leading to the awareness and perception of the stimulus.
A stimulus is a signal that triggers a response in the body. When a stimulus is detected by sensory receptors, it sends signals to the nervous system. The nervous system then processes this information and coordinates a response, which can involve actions such as movement, secretion of hormones, or changes in heart rate.
Reflex actions are controlled by the spinal cord and do not involve the brain. When a stimulus is detected, a signal is sent to the spinal cord, which then triggers a quick response from the muscles to react to the stimulus without conscious thought.
Weber's law states that the just noticeable difference between two stimuli is proportional to the magnitude of the stimuli. In other words, the change in stimulus needed to detect a difference is a constant ratio of the original stimulus level.
