Match the following

Intensity

determines wavelength...a high one = a short wavelength. A low one = a long wavelength

frequency

determines a wave's intensity, or height. A small one = dull colors. A great one = bright colors.

hue

the dimension of color that is determined by the wavelength of light; what we know as the color names blue, green, and so forth

amplitude

The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave

Wavelength

the amount of energy in a light or sound wave, which we perceive as brightness or loudness, as determined by the wave's amplitude

lens

The clear tissue that covers the front of the eye

cornea

the adjustable opening in the center of the eye through which light enters

retina


the transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to help focus images on the retina

Iris

the light-sensitive inner surface of the eye, containing the receptor rods and cones plus layers of neurons that begin the processing of visual information

Pupil

a ring of muscle tissue that forms the colored portion of the eye around the pupil and controls the size of the pupil opening

MATCH QUESTION

Match the following

rods

retinal receptors that detect black, white, and gray; necessary for peripheral and twilight vision, when cones don't respond

blind spot

retinal receptor cells that are concentrated near the center of the retina and that function in daylight or in well-lit conditions. The cones detect fine detail and give rise to color sensations.

optic nerve

the nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain

fovea

the central focal point in the retina, around which the eye's cones cluster

cones

the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a "blind" spot because no receptor cells are located there
