rods detect black, white and certain shades of gray and cones detect sharp details and colors. i.e color blind people have a problem with their cones.

Cones contain the pigment iodopsin while rods contain rhodopsin. The membranes of rods undergo renewal but cones' don't.

What is difference between piston rod and connecting rod?

A piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft in an engine, transmitting the force from the expanding gas to the crankshaft to generate motion. A connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, converting the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion to drive the crankshaft. In summary, the piston rod is part of the piston assembly, while the connecting rod is part of the crankshaft assembly in an engine.


Why is it a difference in the charges on a balloon rubbed in your hair and glass rod rubbed with silk?

The difference in charges results from the materials involved. When you rub a balloon on your hair, the balloon becomes negatively charged due to a transfer of electrons from the hair. In contrast, when you rub a glass rod with silk, the glass rod becomes positively charged since electrons are transferred from the silk to the glass rod. This difference in charge occurs because different materials have different tendencies to gain or lose electrons when rubbed together.


What is the difference between torsional physical and simple pendulum?

A torsional pendulum involves a rotational motion where a mass is attached to a rod or wire and undergoes oscillations due to twisting forces, like a spring. A simple pendulum involves a mass attached to a string or rod that swings back and forth in a gravitational field. The main difference is in the type of motion - rotational for torsional pendulum and linear for simple pendulum.


How would you use a duster to charge a plastic rod?

To charge a plastic rod using a duster, rub the duster against the plastic rod. The friction between the materials will transfer electrons from the duster to the rod, giving the rod a negative charge.


When a plastic rod is rubbed with a cloth the plastic rod gains what?

When a plastic rod is rubbed with a cloth, the plastic rod gains a static electric charge. This charge is due to the transfer of electrons between the rod and the cloth, creating an imbalance of positive and negative charges on the rod's surface.

Rod cells are sensitive to dim light, while cone cells help you see colors.


Between cones and rods?

The main difference between rod cells and cone cells is that the rod cell is responsible for detecting the dim lights only with black and white, and the cone cell is responsible for detecting the bright lights with colors. Also in retina, there are more rod cells than the cone cells. thirdly, defect in rods causes night blindness and defect in cones causes color blindness.
