The image may be "real" ... but the data that goes to your brain is NOT.

You see only "fragments" of the image - edges, lines, contrasts, frequencies (NOT colors),

and it all gets "reintegrated" in your occipital lobe

That is - your brain must build up a model from the data it gets -

inverting it is a cinch.

What does the lens do on an eye?

It makes an image to fall on the retina. For this function the thickness of the lens is changed according to the distance of the object.


Why do raccoons have glowing eyes?

The eyes reflect light off the tapetum lucidum behind the retina. It makes it looks like the eyes are glowing.


How does refraction allow you to see?

The refraction of light by the cornea and lens of the eye makes it possible for an image to form on the retina. Without the formation of an image, it would be possible for the retina to detect the presence or absence of light, but not shapes or objects.


An object 5 millimeter high is located 15 millimeter in front of a plane mirror How far from the mirror is the image located?

The distance between the object and mirror is 15 mm. The distance between the image and mirror is 15 mm. Therefore, the distance between the image and object is 15 mm plus 15 mm which equals 30 mm.

How can cats have better eyes than humans?

Unlike humans, cats have something called tapetum lucidum, which is a reflective layer behind the retina that sends light that passes through the retina back into the eye. This makes it easier for them to see in the dark. But, because of this, this makes it harder for them to see in light than humans.


What lens makes things appear upside down?

A concave lens can make things appear upside down when placed in front of the eye because it diverges light rays. This causes light from the top of an object to converge towards the bottom of the retina and vice versa, resulting in an inverted image.


How can you prove the image formed in plane mirror is as far behindthe mirror as the object in front of it?

To do this get a plane mirror and two pins. 1.place the first pin in front of the mirror and let it stand firmly. 2.the second pin would act like a search pin-move it until it coincide with the image of the first pin. 3.avoid error due to parallax in 2 4.read the distance of the first pin from the mirror and now the second from behind the mirror,you will find out they are approximately the same since you can't do it perfectly at home. 5.Any small object can also be used

How is virtual image formed in plane mirror?

When an object is illuminated, light rays scatter off it in all directions. Any rays that strike a flat mirror will reflect, but continue to diverge in a disorganized way. If some of these rays enter a human eye, the lens/cornea will stop them diverging and start them converging. This focusing process ensures that all rays emanating from a single point on the object arrive at a single point on the retina. However, the brain makes no allowance for the change of direction at the mirror and perceives the rays to have originated from an object behind the mirror. This apparent object is is called the virtual image of the mirror. It can only be viewed with the help of a converging lens, such as that in the eye, which forms a real image on the retina.


What single letters makes a common English word when placed both in front of and behind the letters ealt?
