3 How Do We See? Light rays are refracted through the cornea and the aqueous humour onto the lens The lens causes further refraction 1 lens cornea object 2 aqueous humour Copyright © Marshall Cavendish International (Singapore) Pte.

4 How Do We See? Light rays are refracted through the cornea and the aqueous humour onto the lens The lens causes further refraction 1 lens Rays converge to focus on retina cornea object 2 retina 3 aqueous humour Copyright © Marshall Cavendish International (Singapore) Pte.

5 How Do We See? Light rays are refracted through the cornea and the aqueous humour onto the lens The lens causes further refraction 1 lens Rays converge to focus on retina cornea object 2 retina 3 aqueous humour image 4 The image on the retina stimulates either the rods or the cones, depending on the intensity of the light Copyright © Marshall Cavendish International (Singapore) Pte.

6 How Do We See? Light rays are refracted through the cornea and the aqueous humour onto the lens The lens causes further refraction 1 lens Rays converge to focus on retina cornea object 2 retina 3 aqueous humour image 4 The image formed is inverted laterally inverted diminished in size The image on the retina stimulates either the rods or the cones, depending on the intensity of the light Copyright © Marshall Cavendish International (Singapore) Pte.
