Document Summary

If the cochlear is destroyed, hearing is not possible. Consists of a microphone, a processor, a transmitter and receiver/stimulator. Which receive signals from the speech processor and convert them into electric impulses . The sound the listener hears is not completely natural. Only a small number of electrodes not thousands. Electromagnetic signal whose wavelength varies from 400 to 700 nanometers (this is called light). Short wavelengths (400-500 nm = violet-blue); medium wavelengths (500-600 nm = green); long wavelengths (600-700 nm = red). We thus perceive only a very limited amount of the electromagnetic energy in the universe (from 10-5 to 1015 nm). The wavelength of the light determines its physical hue which we perceive psychologically as colour . The amount of energy in the light wave (or its intensity) is perceived as. The light sensitive rods and cones are located in the back of the retina. Light must thus pass through the other layers before striking the rods and cones.
