How many shades of black are there?
Black by definition is the absence of light. However in a real world setting people can not replicate that accurately, so there for there are different attempts that fall within the category of "Black". There are hundreds of different shades of black.
Can Earth-based telescopes can detect all forms of light?
No. Many frequencies of light are absorbed by the atmosphere, and so Earth-based telescopes can't detect it. That's why space telescopes such as the Hubble are so valuable; they allow us to see in frequencies that we cannot detect here on Earth.
What is the light intensity of Sahara desert?
Not many light intensities in the desert, with strange colours as such. Just colours of the sunset, such as oranges and reds and pinker shades. I hope this has helped immensely ;-)
What is the inside light in a car called that glows when door is opened?
the light in the roof is called the interior or dome light. if the light is on a door it is called a courtesy light
How does light affect LDR?
An LDR is a light dependent resistor, which is usually used to detect light levels, either ambient or reflected. The LDR works because incoming light carries energy, which can elevate the energy levels of electrons in a suitable medium to join the 'conduction band' which means that there are more charge carriers in the LDR, and hence the cell has lower resistance.
What are rods?
Rods are photoreceptors found on the retina of the eye. They do not detect colour but detect variations in the amounts of light allowing you to see shades of colour and to develop adaptive night vision.
What cells of the retina detect light?
the answer is photoreceptors. search photoreceptors to figure out what they are.
What does the phototreceptor do?
If you mean photoreceptors, then they are responsible for detecting light and, therefore, enable us to see. photoreceptors are arranged in certain ways to help us recognize different objects. Some photoreceptors are activated (and thereby sends signals to the brain) when they detect light, while others are activated when they do not detect light. The more light (or darkness) each cell detects, the more active they become.
Which structure of the eye contains the photoreceptors?
no. they are called eyes. photoreceptors are cells within the eye that respond to light such as cones and rods.
What are photoreceptors and their functions?
Photoreceptors sense light. They are what allows you to see.
What do photoreceptors do?
Light
What is the type of cell that helps an animal respond to its environment?
These are called receptors. They can be of many different types, depending on what they perceive. Photoreceptors: Pick up light - like your eyes Chemoreceptors: Detect chemicals - like your nose and tongue Haptic receptors: Detect touch - like your skin

What do photoreceptors responde to?
Light
Plants lean toward the light because of plant hormones called?
By chemical photoreceptors A+LS :)
What is the advantage of having the patient looking into a mirror to see the eye chart?
Eyes are organs that detect light, and convert it to eletro-chemical impulses in neurons. The simplest photoreceptors in conscious vision connect light to movement
What animals are sensitive to lights?
Although the bat is known not to come out into the light, a bat can't detect light because a bat is blind and uses a sense called sonar to find its way around.
