There are photocells in your retina called rods and cones. Cones are divided into three categories, red, blue and green which all have different pigments (pigments are a type of molecule that absorb light). Green cones absorb green light, blue absorb blue. When light is absorbed it transfers energy which causes the pigment to break down. When red light hits your retina the pigment in the red cones breaks down. This sends an electrical pulse to the nerve connected to those photocells. The nerve carries the signal to the brain where the impulse is translated.
The rods are not involved in colour vision but can operate at much lower light intensities than cones, but they can only see in black and white. Rods are what you use for seeing when it is very dark.
What else can I help you with?
How can people see colors?
With your eyes unless you are colorblind. The cone cells enable you to see colors.
What causes my eyes to see different colors?
Your eyes see different colors because of the way light is absorbed and reflected by objects. Different colors are created when light of different wavelengths enters your eyes and is processed by your brain.
What do your eyes see when all colors absorb?
Blackness.
What colors do your eyes respond to when you see green?
Green
Do babies see colors?
I think at a certain age there eyes get used to colors, like when you wake up and your eyes get used to the light.
Can wasps see and identify colors?
Yes, wasps can see and identify colors. They have compound eyes that allow them to see a wide range of colors, including ultraviolet light.
How do cats' eyes see?
They say they can see colors of green, yellow, and blue.
What is impossible to do in the dark?
It is impossible to see colors in the dark, as our eyes need light to interpret colors.
Why do my eyes perceive different colors?
Your eyes perceive different colors because of the way light is absorbed and reflected by objects. Different colors are created by the varying wavelengths of light that are absorbed and reflected by the objects you see. Your eyes then interpret these different wavelengths as different colors.
What allows us to see colors?
We see colors thanks to specialized cells in our eyes called cones. Cones are sensitive to different wavelengths of light and allow us to perceive the different colors of the visible light spectrum. When light enters our eyes, it is processed by these cones and translated into the vibrant array of colors we see.
Why do we see different colors in the sun?
because its justt the way our eyes see things. -jh'(:
What do humans see different colors of light?
Humans see different colors of light because of the way our eyes process different wavelengths of light. The cells in our eyes called cones are sensitive to different wavelengths, which correspond to different colors. When light enters our eyes, these cones send signals to our brain that allow us to perceive different colors.
