|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wave length | The distance from the peak of light or sound wave to the peak of the next. Electromagnetic wavelengths vary from the short blip of gamma rays to the long pulses of ratio transmission
🗑
|
||||
| Hue | The dimension of color that id determined by the wavelength of light
🗑
|
||||
| Intensity | The amount of energy in a light wave or sound wave, which influences what we perceive as brightness or loudness
🗑
|
||||
| Cornea | The eye’s clear, protective outer layer, covering the pupil and the iris
🗑
|
||||
| Pupil | The adjustable opening in the center of the eye through which light enters
🗑
|
||||
| Iris | A ring of muscle tissue that forms the colored portion of the eye around the pupil and controls the size of the pupil opening
🗑
|
||||
| Lens | The transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to help focus images on the retina
🗑
|
||||
| Retina | The light-sensitive inner surface of the they, containing the receptor rids and cones plus layers of neurons that begin the processing of visual information
🗑
|
||||
| Accommodation | The process by which the eye’s lens changes shape to focus near or far objects on the retina
🗑
|
||||
| Rods | Retinal receptors that detect black, ehite, and gray and are sensitive to movement (nighttime visuals)
🗑
|
||||
| Cons | Retinal receptors that are concentrated near the center of the retina (daytime visuals)
🗑
|
||||
| Optic nerve | The nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain
🗑
|
||||
| Bipolar cells | a trigger caused by light energy chemical changes
🗑
|
||||
| Ganglion cells | Activated by the bipolar cells
🗑
|
||||
| Blind spot | The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a “blind” spot because no receptor cells are located
🗑
|
||||
| Fovea | The central focal point in the retina around which the eye’s cones cluster
🗑
|
||||
| Young-Helmholtz (trichromatic theory) | The theory that the retina contains three different types of color receptors one most sensitive to red, one to green, one to blue
🗑
|
||||
| Opponent-process theory | The theory that the retina contains three different types of color receptors one most sensitive to red, one to green, one to blue
🗑
|
||||
| Negative afterimages | When you stare at an image then look away and see the opposite
🗑
|
||||
| Feature detectors | nerve cells in the brain's visual cortex the respond to the specific features of the stimulus such as shape, angle, or movement
🗑
|
||||
| Parallel processing | Processing many aspects of a problem simultaneously
🗑
|
||||
| Damage to the brain's visual cortex | Processing many aspects of a problem simultaneously
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
