This typically occurs in low light conditions to allow more light to enter the eye for better vision. The pupil dilates in response to signals from the brain and the iris muscles, helping to improve visibility in dim surroundings.
A refracting telescope uses a lens (or for most refractors today, 2 or more lenses) to bend the wavelengths of visible light to a focal point as a means of collecting light. The light is then focused using an eyepiece. Depending on the focal length of the eyepiece, the effective magnification of a telescope can be altered.
A dilated pupil is when the black part of the eye becomes big due to reactions to light or medication. A fixed pupil is one where the black part is stuck open big due to pressure inside of the eye.
Larger in diameter. The human eye can open to a maximum of about 7mm. Calculate the area of that, and compare it with a 50 diamter mm lens. (A=pi*r^2). Where 3.5 = radius of the pupil and: 25 = radius of the lens pi * 3.5^2 mm = 21.99 mm ^2 (area of a pupil in the dark) pi* 25^2mm = 1963.5 mm^2 Therefore, a 50 mm lens would have 89.29 more light grasp than the eye.
The primary mirrors of each of the two telescopes are 10 meters (33 ft) in diameter. A human eye has a pupil less than 8mm in diameter. The area of a Keck mirror is about 1,6 million times larger than that of the human pupil. (The sensors used are more sensitive too able to detect single photons).
Open kinematic pair chain exercises are primarily for strengthening and rehabilitating purposes. These exercises allow the hand and/or foot to be moved freely.
The pupil size is controlled by the iris muscles. In bright light, the iris constricts the pupil to reduce the amount of light entering the eye. In dim light, the iris dilates the pupil to allow more light to enter. Emotional responses or changes in focus can also affect pupil size.
In dim light, your pupil expands. In bright light, your pupil contracts. Your pupil contracts in bright light because not as much light is needed to see. Same thing with dim light, your pupil expands in dim light because there is more light needed to see. Because there is not as much light in a closet than in an open field your pupil contracts and expands to let in more light or let in less light, depending on were you are at and how dark it is.
The pupils of your eyes become smaller due to light. When it is dark, the pupil opens wider to allow more light in so that it is easier for us to see. When it is bright, the pupil contracts in order to keep too much light from damaging the sensitive parts in the back of the eye. It has also been noted that drugs, such as hallucinogens and opiates can cause a change in the size of the pupil, usually making them open wider despite the level of light.
Smaller.
It depends on how much light your eyes receive, in dark places or when you close your eyes your pupils dilate (mydriasis) to increase the ammount of light they can take in, conversely, when looking at an intense light the pupils contract (miosis) to decrease the ammount of light. This is called the photomotor reflex and involves the sympathic (mydriasis) and parasympathic (miosis) nervous pathways.
Not exactly. But sort of, in a metaphorical way. The pupil of the eye is the hole that allows light into the eye. It is open and receives light. However, students are ostensibly "open" to "knowledge". So one could take this as a sort of metaphor where "pupil" means "something open" (like the mind of a student) and "knowledge" is like "light". Education brings light to a world of darkness. Pupils receive this knowledge and make the world a better place.
Too much light would damage the receptor cells in the retina. Too little light wouldn't allow them to work properly.The iris contains a pigment that gives our eyes their nice colour, this protects the retina from getting too much light. A darker iris colour gives more protection. But that isn't flexible enough to cope with constant changes in light intensity.Instead, there is yet another reflex!The iris contains two sets of musclesOne muscle is radial, arranged round the pupil like spokes in a wheel.The other is circular, arranged concentric rings around the pupil.When there is too much light, the pupil is closed down by contracting the circular muscle.When there isn't enough light, the radial muscles in the iris contract, pulling the pupil wider. This lets more light through to the retina.
the pupil gets bigger in darkness to try and let more light in. stand in front of a mirror and covr ur eyes for 10 seconds in darkness and open them again in light. u can watch ur pupil get smaller because there's too much light. its really freaky.
No. The pupil can only open to the size of the iris.
When a human is in a dark room, their pupils dilate to allow more light to enter the eye and improve vision in low light conditions. When suddenly exposed to bright light, the pupils constrict rapidly to reduce the amount of light entering the eye. This rapid adjustment in pupil size can cause a temporary dazzled or blinded sensation as the eyes adapt to the change in lighting conditions.
no I can't think of a single example of anything that opens wider to allow less to enter.
