The wavelength of light mainly affects our perception of
color
brightness
saturation
light purity
Imagine that biologists have discovered an animal that has eyes very similar to human eyes, but that the only receptor cells in the retina are rods; there are no cones. Based on what is known about human vision you might expect that this animal would
have poor vision in low illumination
have no color vision
have poor peripheral vision
be able to detect extremely fin details
The primary visual cortex is located in the
occipital lobe
temporal lobes
parietal lobes
frontal lobe
If you project a red, a green, and a blue light into space, the point at which the three lights cross will lead to the perception of
black light
ultraviolet light
white light
infrared light
The perception associated with the amplitude of a sound wave is
timbre
loudness
tonal quality
richness
The structure of the ear that transduces sound vibrations into verve impulses is the
cochlea
oval windows
temporal lobe
stirrup
If you stare at a red light for awhile, what will happen when you divert your eyes away?
You'll see blue afterimage
You'll see a red afterimage
you'll have difficulty focusing
you'll see a green afterimage
Light is transduced into electrical in the retina iris choroid cornea( retina, iris, choroid, cornea ) by the photoreceptors that are called lens sclera rods( lens, sclera, rods ) and optic disc cones retina( optic disc, cones, retina )
Laura successfully sees 11 lumens of light 50% of the time. Therefore, 11 lumens represents her minimum threshold lower range absolute threshold maximum threshold( minimum threshold, lower range, absolute threshold, maximum threshold ) for light.
The process of converting physical stimuli into electrical signals is called convergence conjunctiva transduction refraction( convergence, conjunctiva, transduction, refraction ).
You know that a fire engine is coming from one particular side of your world because
the siren is loudest toward one side of your head
the sirens frighten you our of the way
who mentioned anything about a siren?
our brain relies on sound amplitude and time differences in the arrival of compression waves
Chronic exposure to high amplitude sound waves likely caused definess by
Damaging the middle ear bones
breaking the eardrums
Damaging hair cells
Thickening the fluid in the inner ear
A beginning reader relies on ❌ processing, while an advanced reader relies on ❌ processing.
Food generally tastes bland when you have a severe head cold because
your cold will cause the sweet receptors in your mouth to become inactivated
your high temperature will cause your brain to block signals from the taste buts in the mouth
because your natural produced antibodies interfere with chemical molecules stimulated by your taste buds
flavor is influenced by smell as well as taste, and with a reduced sense of smell your sense of taste will be diminished
