The eye is the biological receptor for light (electromagnetic energy). The eyes of animals have one or more lenses that focus the light on a retina of some kind. The retina has biological structures that react to the light, and different animals have receptors that chemically react to different colors of light and also different wavelengths of light. The chemical changes caused by the light are coupled to the brain as neurological signals, and the visual cortex or visual area of the brain interprets the signals.
