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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the structure in the eye through which light passes to allow you to see an image?
The structure in the eye through which light passes to allow you to see an image is the lens. The lens in the eye helps focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye, where the image is formed and sent to the brain for processing.
Is opaque the same as transparent?
You cant see through opaque things, but you can see through transparent things.
What is the liquid you can not see trough but light go through?
The liquid you cannot see through but allows light to pass through is called opaque. This means that the liquid does not allow visible light to pass through, making it impossible to see through it.
What are facts about transparent translucent and opaque materials?
Transparent materials allow light to pass through with little or no distortion, like glass. Translucent materials allow some light to pass through, but it scatters, making objects blurry, like frosted glass. Opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through, like wood.
Is a mirror tranparent translucent or opaque?
A mirror is opaque because it does not allow light to pass through it. Instead, it reflects light, which is why we can see our reflection in it.
Rods and cones are?
Rods and cones are photoreceptors in the eye that allow people to see. Rods allow people to see colors, while cones allow people to see in low light, and in great detail.
What did the light bulb allow people to do?
allowed people to see without candles
Why we cannot see the light source when using 3 opaque materials?
We cannot see a light source even if 1 opaque material is blocking the light source. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them so we cannot see light through them but we can still see light reflected by them.
What is the structure in the eye through which light passes to allow you to see an image?
The structure in the eye through which light passes to allow you to see an image is the lens. The lens in the eye helps focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye, where the image is formed and sent to the brain for processing.
Advantages and disadvantages of night vision technology?
allow u to see
How can you see the moon at night when she is facing the sun?
you can't, since there is no light reflecting off the dark side to allow you to see it.
Is opaque the same as transparent?
You cant see through opaque things, but you can see through transparent things.
What is the liquid you can not see trough but light go through?
The liquid you cannot see through but allows light to pass through is called opaque. This means that the liquid does not allow visible light to pass through, making it impossible to see through it.
Do all materials allow light to pass through?
No. May I suggest that you experiment next time and shine a light at a wall and see if there is light on the other side? Or perhaps even shine light at an opaque object and see if light goes through that
Why do pupils let light in your eyes?
So we can see =] Though i believe you meant to ask 'how'? They are basically just holes that allow light through
