Photo receptor cell of the retina essential for vision in dim light and for peripheral vision.
What are Rods
Photo receptor cell in the retina that into transforms light energy into a nerve impulse, essential for color vision.
What are Cones
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave. Ex: Crest to Crest.
What is the Wavelength
Heat energy transferred through solids.
What is conduction
Due to genetics, this part of the eye that opens and closes the pupil may have different colors.
What is the Iris
The lowest part of a wave
What is the Trough
Heat energy transferred through a fluid
What is convection
The portion of the eye that connects the ciliary muscle to the lens.
What is the suspensory ligament
The cornea does this in order for light to pass through the pupil. Also known as bending.
What is Refracting/Refraction
This is known as the height of the wave.
What is the Amplitude
The Electromagnetic spectrum wave that has the 2nd to lowest frequency.
What is the microwave
This is the innermost of the 3 layers of the eye.
What is the Retina
Light sensitive nerve cell layer of the eye containing photo receptor cells.
What is Retina
This is known as the highest part of the wave
What is the Crest
This type of radiation often gives people a sunburn or in some cases, skin cancer.
What is ultraviolet (UV) light.
Jaundice is a symptom of a failing liver, causing this part of the eye to turn yellow.
What is the Sclera
This is where the beginning and end of a wave originates.
What is the line of origin.
The colors in the visible light spectrum going in descending order of frequency.
Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red
