Question

Isaac is in a room that is almost completely dark. He notices while lying in bed that if he tries to focus on the faint little red light on the fire detector, it seems to disappear. When he asks his mother why this happens, she explains that the eye receptors that understand color do not function well in very dim light. To which receptors is she referring?

Answer 1

Answer:cones

Explanation:

What are cones?

Cones are photoreceptor cells which are located in our retinas in the human eye.

They have different responses when it comes to light and this depends on the light distance between the wave of light that is its wavelengths.

The cones are then in charge of how we see color and they work at their maximum function if the light is too bright but poorly in dark light which is the part where our rods cells will function better .
