Question

Which of the following responds to wavelengths of light?

Answer 1

In the question, name of the parts that responds to the wavelengths of light is not given. What I understood the question, I have answered, if not satisfied please upload the remainng part of the question once again. I hope it will help you.

There are different sets of color receptors are found within the retina are sensitive to wavelengths of visible light. Cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous humor are the different parts through which light passes as it enters the eye and are sensitive to light and retina is the part that contains millions of photoreceptors. Rods and cones are called photoreceptors because they respond to light and fovea centralis is the area of sharpest visual acuity that normally contains only cones. The normal retina contains three kinds of cones (S, M and L), each maximally sensitive to a different part of the spectrum. Our ability to distinguish between different wavelengths depends on the operation of three different kinds of cone receptors, each with a unique spectral sensitivity. Each wavelength of light produces a unique pattern of activation in the three cone mechanisms. So we can say that cone cells are the main photoreceptors in the eyes that respond to wavelengths of light.
