Optical Illusions
Optical illusions are visual images that differ from reality imagery. Literal optical illusions are different from the original images, physiological illusions are afterimages that follow a bright light, and cognitive illusions are unconscious inferences like distorting. Ask questions here about perception, depth, color, brightness, and patterns.

What are the colors we see with eyes closed mean?
Of course, eyes don't stop seeing just because the lids are closed. Look towards the sun and close your eyes. You'll see red, that's the blood in your eye-lids. I'm not sure what causes you to see multicoloured lines when you close your eyes in the dark and rub your eyelids with your hands. But rest-assured it's normal.
What is an example of a literal optical illusion?
Some common optical illusions are the ones that look like they are spinning. There are also optical illusions that have a dot in the center of a person's face and after staring for about 30 seconds the person can look at a wall and blink and see an outline of their face.
How do optical illusions affect the human eye?
They trick your brain.It could define logic.Take the vase and two people illusion.Focus on one of them.The one your focusing on is the foreground and the one your not is the backround.
Do colors affect optical illusions?
The question is too vague to be meaninful. Some optical illusions INVOLVE color, so for them I suppose the answer would be yes. Others don't, and the answer there might be either no or yes; it's difficult to say without more details.
No, however the two most popular 3D technology companies in the theaters are RealD and Master Image. So your glasses have to correspond to their format. I know a company, Visual World Products, that makes 3D glasses that work on both formats perfectly.
What the most major difference between telescope and microscope?
A telescope must gather large amounts of light from a dim, distant object; therefore, it needs a largeobjective lens to gather as much light as possible and bring it to a bright focus. Because the objective lens is large, it brings the image of the object to a focus at some distance away
Radio waves exhibit properties and characteristics of behavior that are in every way identical
to the properties and characteristics of light waves. That is, they experience absorption,
transmission, reflection, refraction, diffraction, dispersion, interference, attenuation, and
inverse-square free space loss, exactly following all of the laws of optics.
Note that the laws of optics always involve the wavelength in question. When comparing
radio waves with light waves, one must take into consideration the fact that the shortest
radio waves are almost 4,000 times longer than the longest light waves.
What are the three types of optical illusions?
Like when you are driving down the road on a hot day and up ahead in the road it looks wet, but when you get there it's not. That's a Mirage or an optical illusion.
An example of an optical illusion due to refraction is the formation of rainbow caused by action of water droplets as prism.
Why were optical illisions made for?
People make it so that They can be used around the world from famous peope
When were optical illusions created?
Optical illusions were first used by the Greeks. They built their temples so that the roof was slanted. This gave the illusion that the temple was actually standing straight. They also made the columns bulge so that from a distance they would look perfectly proportioned. In the course of history, people have encountered illusions in many ways. Many of these illusions appear in very common, everyday experiences.
What causes prisms in vision that come and go?
Usually you're born with it. Some folks who have a 'lazy eye' are sometimes prescibed a prism to try to straighten that out, but... I have also seen cases where labs have made glasses incorrectly and unintentionally put prism in the lenses because the proper measurements were not taken. Occassionally... the prescribed prism is a result of some trauma to the head... in those instances, it's a small amount, and *might* reverse itself once the muscles gain strength. Best case scenario, it was poorly made specs... best bet though is to see your Optometrist or Opthamalogist for a full & thorough examination of they eyes. Hope that helped! Cindy
Why does age effect optical illusions?
with yhe passage of time normal human eye can not adjusted the least distance of distinct vision
It is not the blood but the veins that "look" blue, and even then it is not the actual color of the vessel. The difference is in the way colored light moves through the tissues, and how the eye perceives those colors of light.
The oxidation state of the iron in the hemoglobin determines it's color; when the blood is oxygenated, the iron's oxidation state changes, changing the color of the blood from dark red to light red. It is never blue.
The changes in blood coloration relate to the respiratory pigment, hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a topologically complex molecule that very readily binds to oxygen. Once the molecule is fully saturated, it reflects in the crimson red spectrum, and therefore fully oxygenated blood appears to be bright red.
After the hemoglobin molecule gives up its oxygen to tissue that needs it, the molecule becomes much less reflective, and thus deoxygenated blood appears very dark red to purple. But blue is used in charts and diagrams to contrast against red, red being the arterial system bearing O2 and blue being the "deoxygenated" blood in the venous system.
Human blood is always red. It can have different hues of red, but it is still red.
Does age affect the way you look at optical illusions?
Yes! Men usually see more of empty space when they look at optical illusions. When women tend to look into the detail.
What is it called when atmospheric conditions cause nonexistent bodies of water to be seen?
An optical illusion that is caused by atmospheric conditions in which nonexistent bodies of water are seen is commonly referred to as a mirage. This is most common in extremely hot climates, and although the most common mirage is of bodies of water, there are other illusions that may appear to a person, as well.
Do people see optical illusions the same way?
No matter what hand you do task with doesn't make a difference in the way you see optical illusions.
What does Optical artists question?
Optical art is a type of abstract art that gives the person the illusion of movement by the precise usage of pattern as well as color, or in which conflicting patterns emerge and overlap.
A perception, as of visual stimuli, that represents what is perceived in a way different from the way it is in reality.
Can animals see optical illusions?
Yes, Nieder (2002) reviewed literature showing that various mammals, birds and insects can seeillusory lines. These are lines which aren't really there but are implied by the way parts of other objects were deleted.
