When an image hits the retina the image is upside down what flips the image the right way round?

Light hitting the lens the eye is refracted. Imagine a bunch of drinking straws tied at the middle. If you fan out the top the bottom of the straws will fan in the opposite direction. So it is with the light through a lens. The angle of incidence bends all the light through the centre of the lens and out of the back of the lens. As light always travels in straight lines through a medium, that which was at the bottom on the way in is at the top on the way out and that which was on the left finishes up on the right. Therefore the image is upside down.

A convex lens like that of the eye produces an image that is upside down and reversed from left to right?
Because that is how the brain is organised. Once it is processed, the brain knows what way the image should be. While your eyes' lenses may create an inverted (upside down) image, the brain corrects this automatically, so there is no "upside-down" to be noticed.
Which term is used to describe objects that are visible because of reflected light?
Yes the light reflects off an object and then into your eye, you eye then turns that image the right way round, really we see things upside down :) Yes the light reflects off an object and then into your eye, you eye then turns that image the right way round, really we see things upside down :)
What year can be read right side up and upside down 1900 1999?
1961
Why do we see ourselves upside down in a spoon?
You'd actually see your upside-down reflection in the bowl of a spoon (the part where the food goes); any reflection you see on the opposite side will always be upright. The inside of a spoon acts as a concave mirror, which have the interesting property of creating an inverted image when the object being reflected is located outside the focal point. If you hold the spoon as close to your face as you can, you'd see your reflection upright.
Is a virtual and inverted image formed by a concave mirror?
Your right! You see technically we see up side down but with the light we see right side up so what that means is yes it is upside down. Well, since the brain doesn't turn it "right side up" it could be either way that you look at it.
How do we see?
With our eyesYou see by light bouncing off object and into your eyes is progected on your retina upside-down and your brain flips it up the right way
What do you call the upside-down picture on the retina?
Is called real image. The image formed on the retina as a result of the refractory activity of the lens is a real image (reversed from left to right, inverted, and smaller than the object)
Does the lens in your eye flip the image?
The image on the back of the retina is upside-down but the brain converts the image to right-side up, just like the rotation of a photo in an imaging programme.
Are television pictures upside down when broadcasted and then the retina turns them the right way up?
No, TV pictures are broadcast the 'right' way up - however, your eyes' lenses form an image on your retinas of everything in the world upside-down, and your brain adjusts the image to look correct.
How does light allow you to see?
Light consists of streams of small wavelike particles called photons which are produced in huge numbers by any incandescent body like the Sun or a lamp. These photons bounce off objects into the eye. They land on the retina at the back of the eye where receptors sense them and send signals to the brain. The retina actually sees the world upside down but the brain "reverses" the image for our benefit.
Why you are getting right image instead of inverted image through our eye?
The image is inverted when it reaches the retina. The brain then interperets the image as right-side-up.
How do the eye and the brian interact and let us to see?
Well, here's a very basic explanation. An image enters your pupil, which is basically a big hole in your eye. The image is transported through a tube and sent to your brain upside down. The brain flips it so it's right-side-right, and then sends it back to your eye, and there's the image!!
Why do you see objects as upright and the same size although the image formed on the retina are upside down and diminished?
Because the brain knows to make them the other way up, and it uses perspective to get it the right (ish) size.
What do you call an image that is upside down and reversed from left to right?
If it's both upside down and reversed from left to right, it would be equivalent to the image rotated 180 degrees.
Where is the image formed in the eye?
Light rays reflect off the object and into the eye where they are refracted by the cornea and focussed by the lens on to the retina, the optic nerve then carries the messages to the brain and an image is formed. Answer: Images don't form in the eyes they form in the brain.The retina at the back of the eye receives light energy from the exterior environment. This is much like the reception of radio wavs by an antenna.The activated optic nerves transmit electical signals or messages to the brain which interprets the impulses into an image
What must happen in order for us to see light?
first the pupil must expand to let the light in and the image falls on the retina. comes and rod cells absorb the light and transmit a signal to the brain and the brain flips the image right side up again that's what must happen for the eye to see.
Is the image in a dark room upside down or the right way up?
If you mean during printing and are referring to the projected image, it is upside down if you put the negative in the carrier the wrong way. The image should go upside down in the carrier so that it is projected right side up.
