Document Summary
Making sure visual system works because sometimes things can get mixed up (i. e. lecture 4. The visual system: light, optics and the eye lower iq levels, diagnosis with alzheimer"s: light can be represented as a sound wave, classified by their wave length. Evolution did not require us to develop the ability to see lights that are outside of the light that the sun shines on the earth. If you look at the sun, the shorter is deviated more therefore the sun looks yellow because those don"t deviate: why is the sun yellow and the sky blue, interaction of light with objects. Example: white letter = 50 cd/m2, black letter = 3 cd/m2, grey (l0) = 30 cd/m2. Rays do not converge/converge at a negative value: focal length: distance between the lens and its focal point. The closer the image to the lens, the further the image converges: the human eye, can see 2000.
