I know light gets reflected from an object and then our eyes catch that light to see that object, but I don’t understand what’s happening here. Are our eyes seeing the reflected or anything else. Please explain me in detail.
In: Physics
Our eyes react to whatever photons hit the rods and cones.
The light may be reflected ( as from a surface), or direct from a source ( the sun, lightbulb, TV)
When the photons hit a rod or cone on our retina, it causes a chemical reaction, triggering a nerve impulse to our brain. Our brain then interprets that impulse, deciphering the torrent of impulses to “show” us our surroundings.
