2. Vision

3. The only thing you can see is light. In order to see light, the light must enter your eyes. If no light enters your eyes, you will see nothing - - only darkness.

4. What can you see in a dark room? Nothing!

5. Shadows

6. Shadows are black because the body is blocking all the light. Seeing a shadow is seeing the absence of light.

7. This is similar to the shutter of a camera. The eye adapts to varying light conditions.

8. The Eye

9. The eye “sees” an object when bundles of diverging rays from each point on the object enter the pupil and are focused to an image on the retina.

10. Two types of “sightedness” Farsighted Nearsighted

12. Farsightedness Easier to see far away things. The eye’s lens is too weak. The image would focus past the retina (back of the eye).

13. Correction (Farsighted) A convergent lens helps the eye out by focusing the light a bit before it enters the eye.

15. Nearsightedness Easier to see close up Lens is too strong. The image focuses before the retina (back of the eye).

16. Correction (nearsighted) A divergent lens is used to spread the light out a bit before it enters the eye

18. Range of Clear Vision Near Point Far Point Ideally  Ideally 10-15 cm Normal “20-20” Vision HIDDEN

19. Near Point Far Point For a Farsighted Person… Object Image, at or beyond their near point HIDDEN

20. A person who sees more clearly under water than in air without eyeglasses is… 1) Nearsighted 2) farsighted 3) neither

21. Nearsighted! The speed of light in water is less than in air, so the change in speed is less as light goes from water to your eye. Less refraction occurs. This makes all people more farsighted under water, which is advantageous if you’re nearsighted. If you’re very nearsighted, the image may fall on your retina and you’ll see as clearly under water as a person with normal vision who wears an air-enclosed mask.
