How do I see color?Photochemical receptors receive the light (____ and _____)
Rods-brightness
cones-the color
They release a ________ signal to the brain.
Brain interprets the signal
Primary colors of light: red, blue, green (mix together to make white.)

Optics and Reflection• Optics-the study of
how light behaves • Deals with the
collection and use of light to create images
• Includes: lenses, mirrors, and ______
• Law of __________: determines the reflected ray
• Light rays bounce off a mirror at the same angle at which they arrive
• We always define angles relative to the normal (the line perpendicular to the mirror (or lens)

Mirrors & Prisms
• Mirrors reflect light– Flat mirrors show
_______– Curved mirrors cause
light to come together or spread apart
• Prisms cause light to change directions– Traditionally used to
________ the colors of light and to show how light bends

Reflection & Mirrors• A mirror reflects rays of light so that they
change their path• ___________– the ray that comes from the
object and hits the mirror• ___________– the ray that bounces off the
mirror

Refraction and Lenses • A ____ uses __________ to cause light to
come together or spread apart• Refraction – The bending of light that
occurs when light crosses a boundary between two different substances– EX. Glass, Plastic, Water
• ____ – a shape of transparent material that is used to bend the light rays– Shape determines how much the light bends

Focal Point & Focal Length
• ___________– the point at which light rays meet after having entered a converging lens parallel to the principal axis.
• ____________- the distance from the center of the lens to the focal point
Where is the focal point in this eye diagram?
Where is the focal length?

Lens Types• Converging lenses – bend parallel light rays
passing through them inward ______ the focal point
• Diverging lenses – bend the parallel light rays passing through them outward ______ from the focal point

The Eye
• Lens, cornea, iris, retina optic nerve• Two convex lenses, refraction
![Page 9: How do I see color? Photochemical receptors receive the light (____ and _____) Rods-brightness cones-the color They release a ________ signal to the brain.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649f2e5503460f94c4802a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Lens• The lens can change it’s shape to focus at different
distances.• A lens that focuses in front of the retina is a condition
called myopia (near sightedness)• A lens that focuses objects behind the retina is a
condition called hyperopia (far sightedness)
Long Focal Length
Short Focal Length
Use Diverging LensThicker on sides than in center
Use Converging LensThick in center than on the sides
