Study Notes
Visible Light and Vision
- The range of wavelengths for visible light in the spectrum is between approximately 400-700 nanometers (nm).
- The cells adapted for sensing coloured vision in the human retina are Cone cells.
Structure and Function of the Eye
- Light rays are focused by the lens in the eye onto the Retina.
- The human retina contains approximately 120 million Rod cells.
- The impulses initiated in the retina are conducted to the Optic Nerve.
