A. Do rods have their peak sensitivity at a higher or lower frequency than cones? B. Do rods and cones have similar sensitivities near the red or near the violet edge of the visible spectrum? C. Is it easier to detect a dim red source or a dim violet source of light?
Homework Answers
visible range approximately: 400nm(blue) to 700nm(red)
a) as visible form graph rods have peak sensitivity at lower wavelength, a lower wavelength means a higher frequency thus rods have their peak sensitivity at higher frequency than cones.
b)similar sentitivies mean the graphs intersect which is around 700nm thu red edge of spectrum
c)relative sensitivity is more for wavelength around 350 nm thus easier to detect dim violet light

The photoreceptors in the human eye, called rods and cones, have different sensitivities to different wavelengths of electromagnetic waves. (Figure 1) (Notice that the y axis in the figure is a logarithmic scale.) The rods, which number over 100 million, can only be activated by a certain range of wavelengths, but they do not pass any color information to the brain. In other words, they note differences in shades of grey (from black to white) and are responsible for a...
