Juanita noticed that in the early evening she begins to have difficulty seeing the vibrant colors in her artwork. Which of the following best explains her difficulty? Her rods are functioning improperly and are not sensing color., Her cones cannot detect color well in dim light., Light adaptation prevents sensation of color, Her optic chiasm is not correctly transferring color neural impulses.

Back

Her cones cannot detect color well in dim light.

In the dark, an object is more clearly seen when viewed in peripheral vision than when viewed directly. This phenomenon occurs because the rods located in the retina are

Back

more sensitive in the dark than cones and are not found in the fovea
