Which type of receptors are more sensitive the rods or the cones?
Rods are the more sensitive, as they are used to pick up on the 'brightness' of something, and cones are used to judge the colour. This explains why all colours appear grey in dim lighting.
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.
How do lighting rods work to protect buildings from lightning strikes?
Lightning rods work by providing a path of least resistance for lightning to follow, directing the electrical current safely into the ground instead of through the building. This helps protect the building from damage caused by a direct lightning strike.
What have people done to control the forces caused by this natural event to lighting?
People have implemented lightning rods to control the forces caused by lightning. These rods are placed on top of buildings and are designed to attract the lightning strike and safely redirect the electrical charge into the ground, reducing the risk of damage or injury from a lightning strike.
How many steel rods in a ton?
The number of steel rods in a ton will depend on the size and diameter of the rods. Typically, a ton of steel rods can range from around 540 to 650 rods, assuming they are standard size and weight.
What are ligtning rods?
Invented by Ben Franklin lighting rods are just what they sound like they are rods on a roof to take lighting instead of it hitting a house and burning it down.
How do lighting rods proctect structures?
By grounding electrical energy.
How did the lighting rod improve peoples lives?
because the lighting rods helped them cross the river or an ocean
Why do you use lighting rods on buildings?
So buildings don't catch on fire
What do the cells in the retina do that are called rods?
Rods are photoreceptor cells in the retina that are responsible for vision in low light conditions. They are sensitive to light and help us see shapes and movement in dim lighting. Rods are not sensitive to color and are more concentrated around the periphery of the retina.
What is the most light sensitive receptor cells?
The rods in our eyes are the most light-sensitive receptor cells. They are highly sensitive to low light levels and help us see in dim lighting conditions.
What was built on top of the seattle space needle to prevent lightning?
There are lightnings rods on top to prevent lighting damage. But it wont prevent lightning itself.
What are the two types of human visual receptors?
The two kinds of receptor in the eye are rods and cones. Rods only see in black and white but are very light sensitive (that's why you see in black and white when it is almost dark) and cones which allow you to see in colour.

How big can rods get to?
There are old rods, good rods, and super rods, and super is the best.
