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.

∙ 14y agoOur eyes need light to see an object, this is why we can't see well in the dark. When the eyes see an object, the image goes first to the cornea. The cornea is the top layer of your eye. It helps the image to have colour. From the cornea, the image goes to the pupil which is the black dot in the middle of your eye. The pupil sends the image to the lens which is the coloured bit right behind your pupil. The lens help you to see an image and make it clear, depends how sensitive your eyes are. The lens job is to then push the image to the retina. The retina is the middle of the eye (the inner layer). The retina shows the image upside down so that the brain knows that the image is the right way up.

∙ 15y ago"What part of your eyes enables us to see?" Your retina allows you to see(at least I think it should be)

Why can you see through a window but not a mirror?
Because windows allow light to pass through them and mirrors reflect light.
How does light allow us to see things?
It lets us see things because the light shines onto lets say a book, so the llight then reflects into our eyes so we can see the book.
If you look through a red filter at a sheet of white paper that is in white light what will you see?
Red. As the filter will only allow red light through, it, you can not see anything but reds.
How can you see light sound and color?
you can see light and colour due to the specific cells on the retina of the eye. these cells are called rods and cones. Rod cells allow you to see in the dark but do not allow you to see colour hence why in the dark everything is black and white. the cone cells allow you to see colour by picking up different wavelengths of light. the amount of these cone cells picking up a certain wavelength for example a lot pick up a blue wavelength, then the more of the cone cells detect this, the darker the blue colour appears.
How does reflective light allow us to see an object?
same way normal light does. it's just normal light bouncing off a reflective surface and onto another surface
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 is the difference between a light microscope and an electric microscope?
The difference between a light and electric microscope is that the light microscope is solar powered
What did the light bulb allow people to do?
allowed people to see without candles
Why can you see through a window but not a mirror?
Because windows allow light to pass through them and mirrors reflect light.
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.
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.
Advantages and disadvantages of night vision technology?
allow u to see
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
How do rod and cone cells process light?
Located in the retina (back of the eye) rods allow you see shades of black and grey cones allow you to see colors
How does light allow us to see things?
It lets us see things because the light shines onto lets say a book, so the llight then reflects into our eyes so we can see the book.
If you look through a red filter at a sheet of white paper that is in white light what will you see?
Red. As the filter will only allow red light through, it, you can not see anything but reds.
What are your pupils?
Pupils are the small, dark circular openings in the center of the iris that allow light to enter the eye. They regulate the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting their size in response to the brightness of the environment.
