Visual Perceptions About Eye

Which part of the eye plays the greatest role in bending light to focus on the retina?

• aqueous humour.

• vitreous humour.

• cornea.

• lens.

For vision, transduction is the process by which

• photoreceptors change electromagnetic energy into electrochemical energy.

• photoreceptors change electrochemical energy into electromagnetic energy.

• sensory information is sent to the brain via the optic nerve.

• incoming sensory information is given meaning.

The range of wavelengths from 380 to 760 nanometres is known as the

• electrochemical light spectrum.

• invisible light spectrum.

• visible electrochemical spectrum.

• visible light spectrum.

Visual perception is

• the psychological process of detecting and receiving a visual stimulus.

• the physiological process of detecting and receiving a visual stimulus.

• the psychological process of assigning meaning to visual information.

• the physiological process of assigning meaning to the visual information.

Rods are specialised photoreceptors in the retina that

• are necessary for daytime vision.

• are necessary for colour vision.

• are necessary for visual acuity.

• are necessary for vision in dim light.

The photoreceptors in the retina are responsible for the changing of light into

• photopigments.

• visual energy.

• electrochemical energy.

• electromagnetic energy.

Two major processes occurring in the eye are

• selection and perception.

• reception and transduction.

• organisation and interpretation.

• transduction and interpretation.
