Question

Describe how the eye changes visible light to an image

Answer 1

First, light passes through the cornea. It bends the light inward. The light then passes through the pupil. After entering the eye through the pupil, the light passes through the lens. It focuses the light to create an image on the retina. It consists of light receptor cells called rods and cones. The rods and cones send nerve impulses about the image to the brain through the optic nerve. The visual cortex of the brain receives and interprets the information and tells you what you are seeing
