The wavelength of light mainly affects our perception of

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

The primary visual cortex is located in the

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

The perception associated with the amplitude of a sound wave is

The structure of the ear that transduces sound vibrations into verve impulses is the

If you stare at a red light for awhile, what will happen when you divert your eyes away?

Light is transduced into electrical in the [blank_start]retina[blank_end] by the photoreceptors that are called [blank_start]rods[blank_end] and [blank_start]cones.[blank_end]

Laura successfully sees 11 lumens of light 50% of the time. Therefore, 11 lumens represents her [blank_start]absolute threshold[blank_end] for light.

The process of converting physical stimuli into electrical signals is called [blank_start]transduction[blank_end].

You know that a fire engine is coming from one particular side of your world because

Chronic exposure to high amplitude sound waves likely caused definess by

A beginning reader relies on [blank_start]bottom up[blank_end] processing, while an advanced reader relies on [blank_start]top down[blank_end] processing.

Food generally tastes bland when you have a severe head cold because
