The Eye http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS450QYYE5k
Light is electromagnetic energy Light that is not visible to humans: Ultraviolet and infrared Light visible is the electromagnetic spectrum called: ROYGBIV
How light travels through the eye Light enters through the opening in the eye called the PUPIL Pupil adjusts according to how much light enters the eye In dark pupils get Big In light pupil gets Small Pupils also react to emotions Open to fear
Next, pupil light encounters the LENS which adjust to the distance of objects by changing its thickness Images are then projected onto the RETINA – the sensitive surface of the eye that acts like film in a camera
PHOTORECEPTORS- neurons that are sensitive to light Once light hits photoreceptors, nerve carries the visual input to brain to visual area of the occipital lobe Two kinds of photoreceptors: Rods- black and white Cones – color Blind Spot – point in the eye where the eye registers nothing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWyrp3hu4KE
Visual Acuity – sharpness of vision Colors across from one another on the color circle are called complementary colors Afterimage- the complementary color http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8o-Vd__I-A
